Olmec to Aztec by Barbara L. Stark (Hardcover - Illustrated)
Archaeological settlement patterns -- the ways in which ancient people distributed themselves across a natural and cultural landscape -- provide the central theme for this long-overdue update to our understanding of the Mexican Gulf lowlands. Olmec to Aztec offers the only recent treatment of the region that considers its entire prehistory from the second millennium B.C. to A.D. 1519. The editors have assembled a distinguished group of international scholars, several of whom here provide the first widely available English-language account of ongoing research. Several studies present up-to-date syntheses of the archaeological record in their respective areas. Other chapters provide exciting new data and innovative insights into future directions in Gulf lowland archaeology. Olmec to Aztec is a crucial resource for archaeologists working in Mexico and other areas of Latin America. Its contributions help dispel long-standing misunderstandings about the prehistory of this region and also correct the sometimes overzealous manner in which cultural change within the Gulf lowlands has been attributed to external forces. This important book dearly demonstrates that the Gulf lowlands played a critical role in ancient Mesoamerica throughout the entirety of pre-Columbian history. "We now have the basis to begin comparing the Gulf Coast to other regions and filling in one of the most significant remaining lacunae in Mesoamerican research.... A must for all scholars working in ancient Mesoamerica". -- Thomas W. Killion, Smithsonian Institution

The Sad Night by Sally Schofer Mathews (Paperback - Sandpiper)
"This sensitive treatment of La Noche Triste, or The Sad Night, the last battle the Aztecs won against the Spaniards, is a highly effective melding of graceful, lucid text and stylized art. Designed to resemble Aztec codices, the illustrations appear in double-page strips above the bordered text. Beginning with the Aztec migration to Tenochtitlán (now Mexico City), the history of this people is traced through their final conquest by Cortés's forces. . . . This title has the distinction of combining myth with historical fact in a particularly successful manner. An engaging introduction to Mexican history."-School Library Journal
