{"product_id":"time-and-the-highland-maya","title":"Time and the Highland Maya","description":"\u003cp\u003eDescribed as a landmark in the ethnographic study of the Maya  this study of ritual and cosmology among the contemporary Quich Indians of highland Guatemala has now been updated to address changes that have occurred in the last decade. The Classic Mayan obsession with time has never been better known. Here  Barbara Tedlock redirects our attention to the present-day keepers of the ancient calendar. Combining anthropology with formal apprenticeship to a diviner  she refutes long-held ethnographic assumptions and opens a door to the order of the Mayan cosmos and its daily ritual. Unable to visit the region for over ten years  Tedlock returned in 1989 to find that observance of the traditional calendar and religion is stronger than ever  despite a brutal civil war.  \". . . a well-written  highly readable  and deeply convincing contribution. . . .\" --Michael Coe\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44974338408501,"sku":"ByrdShop_0826305776","price":223.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780826305770_47b58bb2-3ac9-4b31-b856-f45f48fa931f.jpg?v=1770654670","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/time-and-the-highland-maya","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
