If, like me, you've ever been confused by the Olmecs and the Aztecs and the Mayans and...then this book will make it all clear. It's primarily a children's book, but that's OK, sometimes simpler explanations are easier to understand. It won't take long to read thru but if, as I say, you're curious, this is a painless way to pick up some understanding.
