Exploring issues such as the rise of inflation, greater demand of tax and tribute, deforestation due to over-population, and drought conditions, the essayists examine what happens to a society when the king, who should be appeasing the gods, is seen as the problem. 410 0$aMaya studies. 606 $aMayas$xKings and rulers 606 $aMayas$xPolitics and government 606 $aMayas$xSocial conditions 606 $aRitual$zMexico$xHistory 606 $aRitual$zCentral America$xHistory 606 $aViolence$zMexico$xHistory 606 $aViolence$zCentral America$xHistory 606 $aMayas$xAntiquities 606 $aIndians of Mexico$xAntiquities 606 $aIndians of Central America$xAntiquities 615 0$aMayas$xKings and rulers. 615 0$aMayas$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aMayas$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aRitual$xHistory. 615 0$aRitual$xHistory. 615 0$aViolence$xHistory. 615 0$aViolence$xHistory. 615 0$aMayas$xAntiquities. 615 0$aIndians of Mexico$xAntiquities. 615 0$aIndians of Central America$xAntiquities. 676 $a972/.6 702 $aIannone$b Gyles 702 $aHouk$b Brett A$g(Brett Alan),$f1967- 702 $aSchwake$b Sonja A. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798854403321 996 $aRitual, violence, and the fall of the classic Maya kings$93770083 997 $aUNINA
