Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. A Guide to Maya Ruins (1974) by C. Bruce Hunter ? University of Oklahoma Press ISBN: 080611214X | Condition: Very Good | From Crappy Old Books Indiana Jones may have had the hat, but C. Bruce Hunter had something far more useful: a guidebook. A Guide to Maya Ruins (1974) is the trusty companion for anyone who has ever stared at a photograph of Chichén Itzá, Palenque, or Tikal and thought, ?Yes, but how do I get there, and where?s the nearest place to buy a cold drink?? Part history, part travel manual, and part archaeological love letter, Hunter leads readers through the jungles and plazas of the ancient Maya with equal measures of scholarship and practicality. This copy is in very good condition ?meaning it has probably not survived a trip through the Yucatán in a sweaty backpack, but instead lived a quieter life, perhaps on the shelf of an armchair adventurer who liked the idea of tromping through ruins more than the mosquitoes. The cover shows just a touch of wear, enough to suggest that someone flipped through it with intention, possibly while dreaming of booking a flight. The spine remains solid, the pages are intact, and the book itself is ready for another journey?physical or purely imaginative. Inside, Hunter does what Google Maps still struggles to do today: he makes sense of sprawling, labyrinthine sites. He explains not only the architectural layout but also the cultural context?how these cities thrived, why their pyramids were built, and what stories the glyphs whisper from the walls. Whether you?re plotting a pilgrimage to the ruins themselves or just indulging in some academic wanderlust, this guide offers clarity, insight, and a surprising amount of charm. For travellers, it?s a throwback to a time when guidebooks were treasures in themselves. For historians, it?s a snapshot of how the Maya world was presented in the mid-20th century?before mass tourism trampled the undergrowth. And for collectors, it?s a handsome University of Oklahoma Press paperback in very good shape, a piece of scholarly travel literature that?s held up almost as well as the ruins it describes. So here it is: A Guide to Maya Ruins, a 1974 classic that proves you don?t need snakes, whips, or collapsing temples to enjoy the mystery of the Maya?just a sturdy paperback and a willingness to get a little lost. Crappy Old Books: rescuing travel companions who are still ready to go exploring, one dusty shelf at a time. Codice articolo 4395
