Opis

Ancient cities were complex social, political, and economic entities, but they also suffered from inequality, poor sanitation, and disease - often more than rural areas. In The Ancient Urban Maya, Scott Hutson examines ancient Maya cities and argues that, despite the hazards of urban life, these places continued to lure people for many centuries.
