104:7 The Ancient American World by Fash & Lyons

This covers the MesoAmerican, Incan, Maya, and other cultures of South and Middle America from 5000BCE to the Spanish conquistadors of the 1400 & 1500s. There were chapters on several cultures I don't remember having learned of before and it was amazing to see the incredible art and ways they came up with to not only survive but thrive and what rich cultures came and went during that time. As always, the more I read this series of history books the more impressed I am with them. Much more detail in these than even my high schoolers World History text.
