1707566127
针对马雅文明的陨落,三本新出版的书提出了各自不同的看法:David Webster的The Fall of the Ancient Maya(New York: Thames and Hudson, 2002)、Richardson Gill的The Great Maya Droughts(Albuquerque:University of New Mexico Press, 2000)以及Arthur Demerest、Prudence Rice和Don Rice一起编辑的The Terminal Classic in the Maya Lowlands(Boulder:University Press of Colorado, 2004)。Webster综合概括了马雅社会的历史,从人口和资源分配的角度解释了马雅崩溃的原因;Gill则把重点放在气候变化上,认为是旱灾引起了马雅的崩溃;而Demerest等人则强调各遗址间错综复杂的差异,对于生态方面的变因很少关注。关于这些方面的早期讨论见T.Patrick Culbert编辑的The Classic Maya Collapse(Albuquerque:University of New Mexico Press, 1973)以及T.Patrick Culbert 和D.S.Rice合编的Precolumbian Population History in the Maya Lowlands(Albuquerque:University of New Mexico Press, 1990)。David Lentz编辑的Imperfect Balance:Landscape Transformation in the Precolumbian Americas(New York:Columbia University Press, 2000)一书中有好几个章节涉及马雅的崩溃,还探讨了其他相关族群,如生活在霍霍凯姆、安第斯山和密西西比地区的印第安人,本书对他们也略有提及。
