The Maya World: Yucatec Culture and Society, 1550-1850
ISBN: 9780804736589 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 476 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This pathbreaking work is a social and cultural history of the Maya peoples of the province of Yucatan in colonial Mexico, spanning the period from shortly after the Spanish conquest of the region to its incorporation as part of an independent Mexico.

Designed to be an accessible introduction to the topic as well as a significant contribution to conquest scholarship, the volume presents for the first time English translations of firsthand accounts by Spaniards, Nahuas, and Mayas. Alvarado's letters to Cortes, published here in English...

ISBN: 9781780994079 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 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. In this book, the author argues that this is based on the misrepresentation that each tree and stone has its own immortal soul.

Spirits of the Sacred Grove
ISBN: 9781782796855 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 285 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. For many, the word Druidry conjures up images of white-robed figures involved in esoteric rituals.

Druids are passionate about the environment, and their worship is above all focused on Nature through the celebration of the changing seasons of the year. Spirits of the Sacred Grove is a very personal journey through the seasons seen through the eyes of a modern female Druid. Emma Restall Orr takes the reader through the cycles of nature,...
