About the book

The Maya examines the civilisation that flourished across parts of present-day Mexico and Central America. The book explores Maya cities, writing, astronomy, religion, architecture and political organisation. It also considers the extraordinary achievements of Maya mathematics and calendar systems and the continuing study of their complex society. The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II Fernand Braudel's monumental study examines the Mediterranean world during the sixteenth century, placing the reign of Philip II within a much broader geographical and social setting. Rather than concentrating only on rulers and battles, Braudel examines climate, trade, agriculture, communications and long-term social structures. The result is a sweeping reinterpretation of history that places geography and everyday life alongside political events.
