Turn to this book if you're intrigued by Maya glyphs. Massive in size and importance, Blood of the Kings is a definitive re-evaluation of Maya culture based on recently deciphered hieroglyphic inscriptions. Beautifully illustrated, we first turned to this brilliant book after an inspiring lecture by Schele on Palenque's Pascal the Great. It's a demanding but masterful exegesis of our new understanding of Maya written language -- and how it has radically transformed our notions of the culture.
