Recenzii
Maya Wisdom and the Survival of Our Planet takes us deep into the Maya rainforest homeland and describes the brilliant ways in which the Maya have adapted to their ever-changing tropical environment. Using her perceptions from trench and on-the-ground exploration, Lucero spells out the lessons we must learn from the Maya for the future. This thought-provoking, stunning achievement will revolutionize both Maya archaeology and our wider study of the past. Lucero's beautifully written book is destined to become a classic.
Dr. Lucero offers a fascinating excursion into the mysterious world of the Maya and their lessons about climate change and sustainable living-still applicable today-that were arduously acquired over the centuries.
In a book that masterfully contributes to our rethinking what we know about the resilience, agriculture, and cities of the ancestral Maya, Lucero also asks us to rethink our own relationships to the water, soils, plants, and animals around us in an age of crisis.
