{"product_id":"ritual-violence-and-the-fall-gyles-iannone-9780813062754","title":"Ritual, Violence, and the Fall of the Classic Maya Kings","description":"Maya kings who failed to ensure the prosperity of their kingdoms were subject to various forms of termination, including the ritual defacing and destruction of monuments and even violent death. This is the first comprehensive volume to focus on the varied responses to the failure of Classic period dynasties in the southern lowlands. The contributors offer new insights into the Maya \"collapse,\" evaluating the trope of the scapegoat king and the demise of the traditional institution of kingship in the early ninth century AD--a time of intense environmental, economic, social, political, and even ideological change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gyles Iannone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813062756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813062754\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Florida\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2016","brand":"Gyles Iannone","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013796999423,"sku":"9780813062754","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d91dfaa5-a004-4aac-9973-79d5a3475cca.jpg?v=1767744831","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ritual-violence-and-the-fall-gyles-iannone-9780813062754","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
