In this work, the author explores the ancient Maya from the earliest traces of settlement to the Spanish conquest of Central America in the 16th century. He covers the full range of Maya culture, including religion and philosophy, and examines the interaction between different Maya societies. The author, John S. Henderson, has 25 seasons of experience focusing mainly in Mexico and Central America, and his most recent excavations have been the uncovering one of the earliest pottery-making villages in Mesoamerica along with evidence that shortly thereafter the area became part of Mesoamerica's first civilization, the Olmec. The World of the Ancient Maya is considered by many to be the best introduction to ancient Maya civilization currently available and, according to the author, "it is a survey of the Maya cultural tradition: an introduction to the societies that make it up and an exploration of their contrasts, connections, and linked historical development".
