Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is an excellent resource guide about the Maya Civilization. It contains many facts about Maya life that I hadn't known before and is very good at explaining the Maya number system. The projects are easy and fun to make. I think parents and students could rest easier being able to use these ideas to make a project for school. Good book and highly recommended.

Informative text and sidebars teach about the Maya's impressive achievements in science, math, language, music, medicine, and architecture; and their daily activities and management of natural resources.
