Drawing on knowledge of other prehistoric and historic droughts, The Great Maya Droughts is a useful study of the relationship of humans to their natural and physical environment. The author tries to understand why the Classic Maya failed to adjust their behavior and culture to the climatic conditions and why civilizations in general sometimes collapse in the face of radical environmental change.

". . . the author presents his case in a direct, matter-of-fact way that's accessible even to non-scientists. . . . [The Great Maya Droughts is] a benchmark for applying 'hard' science principles to what has been seen as a 'soft science.'"--San Antonio Express-News
"Gill presents a fascinating picture of a collapse triggered by climate change, and discusses the absence of a recovery in the face of overwhelming odds."--
