Book Description
The subtitle to Ruins to Ruins, From the Mayan Jungle to the Aztec Metropolis, defines the extent of the sites visited by Robert, a young naturalist, and Johnathan, a budding archeologist. A third subtitle might be Finding Wildlife at the Ancient Ruins. Examples include army ants and howler monkeys at Chichén Itza, orange-breasted falcon at Tikal, and king vulture at Yaxchilan. Their journey took them to numerous significant ruins, from Chichén Itza to Uxmal, Mayapan, Coba and Tulum, Calakmul, Tikal, Bonampak, Palenque, Monte Alban, Quiahiztlan, and Tenochtitlan. Along their route, they visited Catemaco and the Sierra de Tuxtla, climbed Popocatepetl, joined a marriage ceremony at Tula, and visited the amazing National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. They also encountered many folks along the way: Senior Aguilar and family at Valladolid; Maya, a Mexico historian at Tula de Allende; and Katrina, who becomes their guide to Tenochtitlan. At Tikal, Robert met Carol, the love of his life and who eventually became his wife.

Book Description
On March 13, 1697, Spanish troops from Yucatán attacked and occupied Nojpeten, the capital of the Maya people known as Itzas, the inhabitants of the last unconquered native New World kingdom. This political and ritual center--located on a small island in a lake in the tropical forests of northern Guatemala--was densely covered with temples, royal palaces, and thatched houses, and its capture represented a decisive moment in the final chapter of the Spanish conquest of the Mayas. The capture of Nojpeten climaxed more than two years of preparation by the Spaniards, after efforts by the military forces and Franciscan missionaries to negotiate a peaceful surrender with the Itzas had been rejected by the Itza ruling council and its ruler Ajaw Kan Ek. The conquest, far from being final, initiated years of continued struggle between Yucatecan and Guatemalan Spaniards and native Maya groups for control over the surrounding forests. Despite protracted resistance from the native inhabitants, thousands of them were forced to move into mission towns, though in 1704 the Mayas staged an abortive and bloody rebellion that threatened to recapture Nojpeten from the Spaniards. The first complete account of the conquest of the Itzas to appear since 1701, this book details the layers of political intrigue and action that characterized every aspect of the conquest and its aftermath. The author critically reexamines the extensive documentation left by the Spaniards, presenting much new information on Maya political and social organization and Spanish military and diplomatic strategy. This is not only one of the most detailed studies of any Spanish conquest in the Americas but also one of the most comprehensive reconstructions of an independent Maya kingdom in the history of Maya studies. In presenting the story of the Itzas, the author also reveals much about neighboring lowland Maya groups with whom the Itzas interacted, often violently.

Book Description
Inspired by a glyph on an ancient Mayan ruin, Burton Albert’s poetic and intriguing tale presents the transformation of the Mayan jungle from day to night through the nightly routine of a powerful jaguar. In the setting sun, raindrops darken into spotted markings and the nightly jaguar begins his journey through the dark jungle as the wind whistles to the monkey’s chatter. As the night ends, he climbs into the canopy at the jungle’s edge, springs into the ocean, and rises again with sun. Inspired by a Mayan myth from A.D. 600-900, Burton Albert shares the enchanting story of the mystical nightly jaguar with children around the world. Paintings by Robert Roth bring his special vision alive as they evoke the mystery of the lordly jaguar’s journey through the night.

Book Description
Three princes and a princess are chosen by the Gods to leave their kingdoms and meet in the Precious Mountain (Kan Witz), in the middle of the tropical jungle where the Mayan Civilization was built. They will have to face ominous beings, with extraordinary powers, who are overrunning each of the kingdoms, and so far, nothing has been able to stop them. They do not know each other, but they will meet and march to confront the enemy that intends to destroy them, without even knowing it, nor its origin, much less its power. They must travel enormous distances, carrying only a backpack (Ikatz) with sacred plants, through which they will be able to fly, become invisible, travel with their shadows, become the double animal or another of their choice, among other prodigies; Their weapons of warriors and those provided by the powerful Shamans, their Masters, who have prepared them for this inescapable mission and will guide them along the way, without being able to intervene directly to help them, since they will have to act by themselves, according to the received teachings. This Shaman Master not only transmits the knowledge that a crown prince must receive to be worthy of ruling his kingdom, but also gives them deeper knowledge, reserved exclusively for shaman priests of the highest dignity. They will learn to transform into their animal double or twin, to use their dream double, to travel at unheard-of speeds through the spirit of water, among other magnificent knowledge necessary to fulfill the mission entrusted to them. The work is based on the Mayan civilization, its cosmogony, its cultural values, its social structure, its extraordinary knowledge in all spheres of knowledge, with emphasis on language, its calendars and its ancestral myths. From their myths the imaginary-supernatural was taken, which determined the central narrative thread: the twin animal of each human being that possesses supernatural characteristics, the invocation of the gods and ancestors to intercede before their unpostponable needs, the communication through specific techniques, with the spirit that governs a cave, a water source, a mountain, the wind, ..., to receive their powers that allow them to perform feats

Book Description
Deep in the Mayan jungle, a brooding archaeologist searches for the lost tomb of a Jaguar King, but finds more danger and erotic passion than in his wildest fantasies. Deep in the wilds of the Yucatan jungle among the Mayan ruins lays the tomb of Shield Jaguar, once King of Pacal. Professor SinJin Twaine is a dark mysterious man, a renowned archaeologist who has spent years looking for the tomb. And at long last, he seems to have succeeded. Tamara Martin jumped at the chance to work with SinJin, jokingly known as the Ivy League Beast. Expecting a white haired, eccentric old man, Tam isn't prepared for the sexy, compelling, complicated young man she's been hired to assist. As the pair uncover the secrets of the tomb, the "curse of Pacal" seems to be more truth than legend-is the enemy sabotaging the dig real, or otherworldly? Tam and SinJin fight their hopeless attraction for one another in a battle of words and wits, until Shield Jaguar himself unites the couple from his eternal vantage point. WARNING: This book contains hot explicit sex written in contemporary, graphic language

Book Description
When FBI agent Lili Foxworthy took a trip with her charismatic husband, actor Peter von Rabenhorst, down to the Yucatan peninsula; all she wanted to do was relax with Peter and help him with the research he needed for an upcoming play, End Game. What she got instead was an introduction to one of their ancestors, a few immortal Mayan gods, and Mayan priests who were reenacting an appearance by the great Mayan god Q, for the hordes of tourists who were arriving to witness the end times, as some said was predicted by the Mayan calendar to happen at the end of 2012.

Book Description
The #1 New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, named one of the best books of the year by The Boston Globe and National Geographic: acclaimed journalist Douglas Preston takes readers on a true adventure deep into the Honduran rainforest in this riveting narrative about the discovery of a lost civilization -- culminating in a stunning medical mystery. Since the days of conquistador Hernán Cortés, rumors have circulated about a lost city of immense wealth hidden somewhere in the Honduran interior, called the White City or the Lost City of the Monkey God. Indigenous tribes speak of ancestors who fled there to escape the Spanish invaders, and they warn that anyone who enters this sacred city will fall ill and die. In 1940, swashbuckling journalist Theodore Morde returned from the rainforest with hundreds of artifacts and an electrifying story of having found the Lost City of the Monkey God-but then committed suicide without revealing its location. Three quarters of a century later, bestselling author Doug Preston joined a team of scientists on a groundbreaking new quest. In 2012 he climbed aboard a rickety, single-engine plane carrying the machine that would change everything: lidar, a highly advanced, classified technology that could map the terrain under the densest rainforest canopy. In an unexplored valley ringed by steep mountains, that flight revealed the unmistakable image of a sprawling metropolis, tantalizing evidence of not just an undiscovered city but an enigmatic, lost civilization. Venturing into this raw, treacherous, but breathtakingly beautiful wilderness to confirm the discovery, Preston and the team battled torrential rains, quickmud, disease-carrying insects, jaguars, and deadly snakes. But it wasn't until they returned that tragedy struck: Preston and others found they had contracted in the ruins a horrifying, sometimes lethal-and incurable-disease. Suspenseful and shocking, filled with colorful history, hair-raising adventure, and dramatic twists of fortune, THE LOST CITY OF THE MONKEY GOD is the absolutely true, eyewitness account of one of the great discoveries of the twenty-first century.
