"At a very basic level we are all geographers interested in how and
where people live. The "Maya Atlas" taps a wellspring of that
geographic interst and provides an authentic insider's view of the
Mayan's traditional and modern worlds. The "Maya Atlas" instantly
transports the reader to villages in the rain forest where the
smell of wood smoke hangs in the air, the calls of birds mix with
the laughter of children, and the people till their fields by hand
and burn incense to the spirits of the Hills and Valleys so the
crops will grow abundantly."
- Bernard Nietschmann, Professor of Geography, University of
California, Berkeley
"This village loves this village because its river banks are full
of iguanas sunning themselves and its fishes love to bite."
- Santiago Chub, Village Researcher, Maya Mapping Project: Santa
Anna, Toledo District, and Belize
