Under Moctezuma the mighty Aztec empire reached the height of its power; under Moctezuma, the Aztec empire met its ultimate downfall. The Aztecs ruled from the island metropolis of Tenochtitlan which, by the fifteenth century, stretched from the Gulf Coast to the Pacific Ocean. Focusing on their last elected leader, Moctezuma II, this informative & beautifully illustrated little book explores the world of the Aztecs. It looks at their origins, the founding of their capital city Tenochtitlan, the structure of their society, their religious beliefs & ceremonies, their military prowess, their art & architecture, & their network of long-distance trade & tribute. The dramatic death of Moctezuma at the hands of the Spanish is also recounted. ” Moctezuma & the Aztecs” not only offers a concise portrait of this famous, semi-divine figure but offers a wonderful introduction to a remarkable, sophisticated civilization. ...

Welcome to the world of the sharp-suited `faces`. The Italianistas. The scooter-riding, all-night-dancing instigators of what became, from its myriad sources, a very British phenomenon. Mod began life as the quintessential working-class movement of a newly affluent nation
- a uniquely British amalgam of American music & European fashions that mixed modern jazz with modernist design in an attempt to escape the drab conformity, snobbery & prudery of life in 1950s Britain. But what started as a popular cult became a mainstream culture, & a style became a revolution. In Mod, Richard Weight tells the story of Britain`s biggest & most influential youth cult. He charts the origins of Mod in the Soho jazz scene of the 1950s, set to the cool sounds of Charlie Parker & Miles Davis. He explores Mod`s heyday in Swinging London in the mid-60s
- to a new soundtrack courtesy of the Small Faces, the Who & the Kinks. He takes us to the Mod-Rocker riots at Margate & Brighton, & into the world of fashion & design dominated by Twiggy, Mary Quant & Terence Conran. But Mod did not end in the 1960s. Richard Weight not only brings us up to the cult`s revival in the late 70s
- played out against its own soundtrack of Quadrophenia & the Jam
- but reveals Mod to be the DNA of British youth culture, leaving its mark on glam & Northern Soul, punk & Two Tone, Britpop & rave. This is the story of Britain`s biggest & brassiest youth movement
- & of its legacy. Music, film, fashion, art, architecture & design
- nothing was untouched by the eclectic, frenetic, irresistible energy of Mod.
