Book Reviews of Animals and Plants of the Ancient Maya: A Guide
Book Review: A stunningly imaginative guide to the past
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those incredibly rare guidebooks that pushes past the confines of the genre and brings something totally fresh to the endeavor. I am not a Maya scholar, but Schlesinger's writing is so evocative that I couldn't help but be totally pulled in by her descriptions of the plants and animals that inhabited the Maya world.
