Maya Atlas: The Struggle to Preserve Maya Land in Southern Belize by Compiled by The Maya People of Southern Belize in conjunction with The Toledo Maya Cultural Council and The Toledo Alcaldes Association - 1997

Berkeley, CA: North Atlantic Books, 1997. Book. Good. Soft cover. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Minor shelf wear to the corners and spine ends, gently used. Text is clean. '[This book] appears in a time of ever-changing and continually threatened environment, and is nothing short of a miracle - a brilliant model of what can be done to increase and diffuse geographic understanding on the all-important level of the small regions upon which the world depends. For the Maya and their neighbors in southern Belize, the contents of this atlas will allow a far better understanding of regional landscape in terms defined by the people themselves. They will be better equipped than are many of us to address issues which affect their future well-being - logging, toxic waste, agricultural practices, and land use in general.' Illustrated. 154 pages. 11 x 11 inches..
