2012 and the End of the World: The Western Roots of the Maya Apocalypse
ISBN: 9781442206090 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Did the Maya really predict that the world would end in December of 2012? If not, how and why has 2012 millenarianism gained such popular appeal? In this deeply knowledgeable book, two leading historians of the Maya answer these questions in a succinct, readable, and accessible style.

They begin by briefly examining the evidence for the prediction of the world's end in ancient Maya texts and images, analyzing precisely what Maya priests did and did not prophesize. The authors then convincingly...

ISBN: 9780804736589 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 476 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Instead of depending on the Spanish sources and perspectives that have formed the basis of previous scholarship on colonial Yucatan, the author aims to give a voice to the Maya themselves, basing his analysis entirely on his translations of hundreds of Yucatec Maya notarial documents-from libraries and archives in Mexico, Spain, and the United...

ISBN: 9781780994079 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Over the past few hundred years, animism has been dismissed as a primitive, naive and irrational perspective, relevant perhaps amongst tribal peoples but not within the intellectual arenas of the civilized West.
