Zelia Nuttall and the Search for Mexico's Ancient Civilizations

Beschreibung

The first biography of Zelia Nuttall (1857â 1933), a pioneering Mexican-American anthropologist whose work on Aztec cosmology and mastery of ancient codices helped shape our understanding of pre-Columbian Mexico. Grindle captures the appeal and contradictions of this trailblazing woman, who brought a new rigor to the study of ancient civilizations.
