An exploration of the lands of the ancient Maya and the heritage of the five million people who preserve a Mayan identity today. Author's circular travels begin in tiny Belize, take him through the Guatemalan jungle and into the blood-stained highlands of that republic and end in Mexico, where the Maya are afflicted by massive development. Blending archaeology, history, ethnology, and journalism, Wright creates a fascinating profile of the Maya and employs their famously sophisticated calendar in the narrative of his own journey..
