Michaela Coel Knihy
Michael D. Coe bol americký archeológ a antropológ, preslávený svojim rozsiahlym výskumom civilizácie Mayov. Jeho vedecké prínosy výrazne prehĺbili naše pochopenie tejto starovekej kultúry. Coeova práca sa ponorila do ich komplexných spoločenských štruktúr, zložitého hieroglyfického písma a hlbokých kozmologických presvedčení. Svojimi pútavými a autoritatívnymi spismi oživil svet Mayov pre širšie publikum.
