The Aztecs, from Thames & Hudson, is an illustrated account of the ancient civilization & its people. Author Richard Townsend has written a study that presents an expanded view of Aztec history & achievement, accompanied by 163 illustrations, with some plates seen in colour for the first time. Beginning with a vivid evocation of Aztec coronation rites, the preceding cultures of Teotihuacan, Xochicalco & Tula are then looked at in greater depth than is common. New discoveries are described & assessed, & the book looks at how a breakthrough in hieroglyphic decipherment has revealed many phonetic elements combining with pictographic forms in Aztec script which recall conventions of classic Mayan writing. The book ends with the conquest of Tenochtitlan by Spanish & Indian allies, as seen from an Aztec point of view, & the conclusion points out the importance of the Aztec legacy in the formation of modern Mexico. ...

The first title in a colourful new series of sticker books, ” Aztecs”, introduces the famous civilization of the Aztecs who flourished about 600 years ago in what is now central Mexico, before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadores in 1519. The Aztecs had a sophisticated civilization based around their capital city, Tenochtitlan, & were skilled in making beautiful objects of mosaic, jade, stone, featherwork & metal. The book features six galleries which children will enjoy filling with stickers of real Aztec objects. Each gallery has a theme, such as Gods & Goddesses & Aztec Life & each space has a descriptive label so that children can identify & place the relevant object stickers in the display. While they have fun with the stickers, they are learning about the objects & the culture from which they come. The final gallery is an empty exhibition space which the children can furnish with their own choice of objects to create a completely personal Aztecs exhibition. The stickers are peelable, so if they are lifted up with care, the display can be re-created again & again. The book features Approx. 100 colourful stickers. ...

On more recent editions some GRs, the official long-distance hiking routes, are also marked (although not as clearly as on hiking maps from other publishers). Each map covers 29.5x 18.5 km (with adjustments in the border or coastal areas). The maps have a 1-km UTM grid, plus margin ticks for latitude & longitude at 1` intervals. Map legend is in Spanish only.HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT 50K MAP: all the titles in CNIG’s 200K Provincial Road Maps series at 1:200, 000 are overprinted with the grid for the 1:50, 000 maps & can be used to see the area covered by each 50K title. TO SEE THE LIST OF TITLES IN THIS SERIES PLEASE CLICK ON THE SERIES LINK.PLEASE NOTE
- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.
