"This introductory-level book of the 'Exploring the Ancient World' series deals with urbanism in six parts of the world. One chapter overviews Mesoamerica and discusses Olmec centers, Monte Albâan, and Teotihuacâan. Reflecting the author's interests, ancient Maya cities are discussed in a separate chapter. Color photographs and drawings"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57. - (Baker & Taylor)
