Tikal: Analyze, understand and live the biggest Mayan city-state
What people say about this book on Amazon:
"Three years ago I had the wonderful opportunity of visiting Tikal with my daughter. It was magical experience! At the time I only had country travel books with me which are heavy and awkward to use in the field. This ebook option I came across and purchased last year I think is going to be ideal for my return trip to Tikal later this year. Besides the ease of having at one's fingertips on a phone in their pocket, I found this book to be very well organized, detailed and came with excellent diagrams. I much prefer these images over photographs as they clearly helped identify key structures and points of interest in a very simple manner. From the physical structures themselves, to the relationships with solar and celestial bodies, to the historical background of social, cultural, geographic and climatic conditions .... I found the authors did an excellent job of sharing the really important facts of this ancient marvel, but in an easy to read and engaging manner. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is considering visiting Tikal!"

Tikal: Analyze, understand and live the biggest Mayan city-state
What people say about this book on Amazon:
The book is written in very clear and easy to understand language, by two authors with experience and passion for preserving and protecting this and similar sites, as well as educating people on its importance and grandeur. I have now personally been to Tikal twice, and I find this book to be an invaluable companion to understanding this immense and impressive site. Dieter Richter quite literally may be the most knowledgeable person in all of the Peten region and beyond regarding Tikal, as well as many other lesser-known but also fascinating Mayan sites in the region.
