AB South and Meso-America gave rise to several major civilizations in the region that today encompasses 21 countries.

South and Meso-American Mythology A to Z is a clearly written reference guide to these mythical traditions. Containing 41 illustrations, four maps, a time line, a bibliography, an index, and extensive cross-references, South and Meso-American Mythology A to Z is a comprehensive and accessible reference guide for anyone interested in learning more about South and Meso-American myths, traditions, and beliefs
