History
Tumultuous barely begins to describe the series of events that this small piece of land

have come and gone, and the population has repeatedly found itself trapped in the
crossfire of war.
The Ancient Maya,
by Robert J Sharer, is a 1990s update of Sylvanus G Morley's classic 1940s tome of the
same name, and is admirably clear and uncomplicated.
