Elizabeth M. Brumfiel

4/5 ( ratings)

The Aztec World is an illustrated survey of the Aztecs based on insightful research by a team of international experts from the United States and Mexico.

It also discusses the effects of European conquests on Aztec culture and society, in addition to offering modern perspectives on their civilization. The text is accompanied by colorful illustrations and photos of artifacts from the best collections in Mexico, including those of the Templo Mayor Museum and the National Museum of Anthropology, both in Mexico City, as well as pieces from archaeological sites and virtual reconstructions of lost artwork.
