Note

"Fiery Pool : The Maya and the Mythic Sea accompanies the exhibition of the same name organized by the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, Massachusetts, on view from March 27 through July 18, 2010; and traveling to the Kimball Art Museum, Fort Worth, Texas, from August 29, 2010, through January 2, 2011; and the Saint Louis Art Museum from February 13 through May 8, 2011"--Title page verso"Most scholarly interpretations of Maya art and culture have emphasized that this ancient civilization was oriented toward inland centers ... Drawing on recent archaeological discoveries and developments in deciphering Maya glyphs, this groundbreaking volume ... shifts the emphasis of interpretation to the mythic power of the sea as the basis of a larger, deeper cultural narative and history for the Maya"-- P. [2] of cover.
