One of the most well-known things about the Classic Maya civilization is that it collapsed, which leads to many questions about what happened. Geared toward a general audience, this book argues that Classic Maya civilization did not in fact collapse in the literal sense of the word.

Drawing on archaeological, environmental, and historical evidence, it explores the many ways that Maya communities addressed the challenges of climate change and other tropical environment stressors.
