This chronicle of the Maya kings and queens by Simon Martin and Nikolai Grube is a valuable addition to the collections of those taken with pre-Columbian history who may have been hindered in their efforts to understand it by the apparent lack of unifying themes. Alongside a concisely written narrative, the book provides its readers with a classy array of images, charts and timelines to help illustrate features of the development of the kingdoms that were most influential in shaping Mayan civilisation. – Georgina Jiménez
