Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

The 51 reconstructed archaeological sites pictured here in 328 aerial and ground photographs (270 in color) include well-known ruins such as Monte Alban, Teotihuacan, and Chichen Itza, and numerous other dramatic, though littlepublicized, sites. The accompanying text, popular yet authoritative, successfully puts the sites in context. This volume is more comprehensive than Ferguson and coauthors Arthur H. Rohn and John Q. Royce's two previous books (Maya Ruins of Mexico in Color, 1984; Maya Ruins in Central America, 1977) and should provide a useful companion to Jeremy Sabloff's Cities of Ancient Mexico (LJ 2/1/89). The photo selections of architecture and site plans give a superb cross-section of each ruin--almost as good as being there. This book has a broad appeal that should attract general and specialist readers alike.

More About the Author

I was born in Houston and raised in Arizona. I went to undergraduate school at Arizona State and law school at the University of Houston.
I then spent four years in the Marine Corps. They called me 'Captain Bill.'

My current career began as a divorce attorney. My focus was on having my clients heal their relationship, one human being to another. In the process, I learned a lot about what creates and destroys love.
15 % of my clients never divorced and the ones who did were able to part as friends.

In 1985, I closed my law practice and put all my focus on healing relationships and having life work. Since then, I have led over 2,000 workshops and have worked with thousands of people.

My first book, How To Heal A Painful Relationship, was featured on Oprah and became a national best seller. I have also written Heal The Hurt That Sabotages Your Life and Miracles Are Guaranteed.

My websites, www.masteryoflife.com and www.divorceasfriends.com receive over 20,000 visitors a month. The Divorceasfriends site was recommended by The Wall Street Journal.
