"""This lavishly illustrated volume is both a catalogue for a museum exhibition on the art and archaeology of the Aztecs and a compilation of articles regarding Aztec history, art, and society from the founding of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan (present-day Mexico City) to the lives of the Aztecs' descendants in the present day. There are 27 short chapters written by archaeologists, ethnohistorians, physical anthropologists, art historians, and other experts in the field of Mesoamerican/Aztec studies, and a significant portion of the chapters are authored by Mexican scholars. . . The extensive photographs, maps, and illustrations also make this a valuable read for anyone interested in the Aztecs.""-- ""Choice"""
