c15.29

THE FIRST PUBLICATION IN ENGLAND OF GEORGE C. VAILLANT'S

c15.30

THE AZTECS OF MEXICO A200

c15.31

Dr George Vaillant was that rara avis, a great specialist who could make his specialty as interesting to the layman as it was to himself. For many years Associate Curator of Mexican Archaeology at the American Museum of Natural History, New York, and acknowledged an outstanding authority on the early civilizations of Mexico and Central America, in this book he wrote the first complete and definitive account of the birth and death of one of the world's great civilizations.

c15.32

In the eleventh century, the Aztecs arrived in Mexico from the north. Even today their speech is much like that spoken by the Indians of Oregon and Montana. In less than a hundred years, rising on the ruins of older Mexican cultures, they developed an extraordinary indigenous civilization. Here is the strange story of that rise, and of the even swifter fall under the impact of Cortes and his followers. Dr Vaillant vividly recreates the Aztec way of life. In one fascinating chapter he takes his reader to the great Aztec city, Tenochtitlan, now Mexico City, in the days of the height of the Aztec power, and wanders with him through the town. We learn not only Aztec history and how Aztec society was organized, but how the children went to school, modes of dress and many interesting aspects of an ancient daily life.

c15.33

Here is an outstanding book, at once definitive and interesting, authentic and popular.
