Paperback. Condizione: Good. It has been a splendid little war. wrote John Hay to Theodore Roosevelt as the Spanish-American War ended in 1898. Indeed it was splendid for the American public, but for the Rough Riders and other soldiers it was as grim, dirty and bloody as any war. Only the ineptitude of the Spaniards, and the luck of the Americans, kept it from stretching into a disastrous struggle.The Splendid Little War is the compelling story of this often overlooked conflict, told largely in the words of the participants themselves. It was a war people by the famous and those soon to be: Theodore Roosevelt, Stephen Crane, Clara Barton and William Jennings Bryan are among those who played key roles in the war against Spain. Above all, as Freidel writes, the Spanish-American War marked the end of an era: Beyond the 'splendid little war' hung the indefinite shadow of world cataclysm.Few Americans dreamed how different the United States would be afterwards.…

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. The mystique of the pre-Columbian Maya has prompted much speculation about the nature of this sophisticated people. With the breaking of their elaborate hieroglyphic code, Schele and Freidel, Mayan scholars of note, provide a new look at the Maya. Structured on sound scholarly principles, their presentation abounds in notes, references, indexes, and chronologies with profuse line-drawings of temple and other inscriptions. They devote a chapter to each of the major Mayan city-states. What makes this volume more accessible and of greater impact than the average scholarly study are the frequent vignettes of great events, kingly acts, etc., told dramatically, in a fictive but plausible style that allows the ancient Maya at last to speak for themselves. Recommended for informed laypersons, as well as specialist and young adult readers.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. For hundreds of years, scholars have struggled to make sense of the mysterious written language of the Mayan people. Nearly all Maya hieroglyphics have now been deciphered, and the history of this remarkable civilization is slowly coming to light. In A Forest of Kings, scholars Linda Schele and David Friedel reveal information about the Maya civilization that has been lost for generations. A Forest of Kings is the story of Maya royalty, from the first great pyramid builders two thousand years ago to the decline of Maya civilization and its destruction by the Spanish conquistadors. Long regarded as austere, peaceful stargazers, the Maya elites are now known to have been the rulers of populous, aggressive city-states. At its height, Maya civilization flourished under great kings like Shield-Jaguar, who ruled for more than sixty years, expanding his kingdom and building some of the most impressive works of architecture in the ancient world. A Forest of Kings reclaims the lost story of one of Mesoamerica's most remarkable cultures. Linda Schele was a well-known authority on Maya writing and art, and the co-author of many books on the Maya including The Blood of Kings and The Code of Kings. She died in 1998. David Freidel has been a Maya archaeologist for twenty years. He teaches at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. A Rosetta stone of Maya civilization. -- Brian M. Fagan, author of People of the Earth. …
