    This book, is hard to find because it's so good. Lots of pictures & information. Easy to understand. If something grabs your attention - easy to go to other sources and find more information. This is good for all ages. Its not laid out dry and scholarly but is scholarly in its presentation of all its items -in picture format or snippets -which makes you want to learn more. Good coverage for of the major players in Central and South America before the Spanish Conquistadors came over.
