Organized Thematically, The Symbols Touch On Many Facets Of The Maya World, From The Natural Environmentanimals, Plants, The Heavensto The Mental Landscape Of Gods, Myths, And Rituals. Using Hundreds Of Line Drawings And Photographs, Andrea Stone And Marc Zender Show How To Identify These Signs, Understand Their Meaning, And Appreciate The Novel Ways They Appear In Art.
