Richard E. W. Adams has conducted more than forty years of fieldwork in Mesoamerican archaeology and has authored or edited fourteen books on the subject. He is Ashbel Smith Professor of Anthropology at the University of Texas, San Antonio.
With a new publisher, Adams has updated his successful textbook on the pre-Columbian archaeology of Mexico and Guatemala (Little, Brown, 1977). This book is a no-nonsense, no-frills introduction to the Aztec, Maya, and their predecessors. It provides an information-packed summary of a complex field in which dramatic discoveries have been made in recent years. This edition is more readable, its illustrations are better distributed, and it is larger by 20 percent. Well written and current, it should be a hit on college campuses and among the informed public.-- William S. Dancey, Ohio State Univ., Columbus
