Mayan literature is among the oldest in the world, spanning an astonishing two millennia from deep pre-Columbian antiquity to the present day. Here, for the first time, is a fully illustrated survey, from the earliest hieroglyphic inscriptions to the works of later writers using the Roman alphabet. Dennis Tedlock - ethnographer, linguist, poet, and award-winning author - draws on decades of living and working among the Maya to assemble this groundbreaking book, which is the first to treat ancient Mayan texts as literature. Tedlock considers the texts chronologically. He establishes that women were among the ancient writers and challenges the idea that Mayan rulers claimed the status of gods. "2000 Years of Mayan Literature" expands our understanding and appreciation not only of Mayan literature but of indigenous American literature in its entirety.

Three award-winning reporters offer the definitive, inside story of the most tumultuous and consequential presidential campaign in US history."The whole world was against me, and I won," said Donald Trump in an exclusive interview, ten days before his second inauguration. Nearly four years after Trump's turbulent presidency concluded in a violent attempt to overturn the election, he made a political comeback on a scale that stunned the nation. How did the first US president to become a convicted felon regain control of the White House? And at what cost?In 2024, award-winning reporters Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf bring us the definitive and explosive account of how Trump and his advisers overcame a dozen primary challengers, four indictments, two assassination attempts, and his own past mistakes to defeat the Democrats, and pave the way for a second term that would be far more aggressive and ruthless than the first.Drawing on extraordinary access to the Trump, Biden, and Harris teams, 2024 takes readers beyond the speeches, rallies, and debates and reveals the innermost workings of the Republican and Democratic presidential campaigns. Beginning in August 2022 with the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago for classified documents and Trump's subsequent decision to run once more for president, Dawsey, Pager, and Arnsdorf chart how Trump stifled the rise of Republican opponents, including Ron DeSantis, and how his campaign, led by Susie Wiles, landed on a winning strategy. They reveal in unrivaled detail how Joe Biden and his team brushed off concerns about his age, ignored polling numbers, and held off the next generation of eager Democratic hopefuls - even as Biden was dealing with his own special counsel investigation and the trial of his son, Hunter. After his disastrous debate performance forced him to withdraw, Biden anointed vice president Kamala Harris as the candidate and tasked her with running the shortest presidential campaign in modern U.S. history.With only 107 days to distinguish herself from the past four years, Harris lacked the time or space to outrun Biden's shadow - a challenge in and of itself, but one which Biden would make even more difficult. On November 5th, 2024, Trump was elected the nation's 47th president, and would return to power vindicated, emboldened, unrestrained, and burning for revenge.Gripping, revelatory, and deeply reported, 2024 is the shocking inside story of one of the most consequential elections of our lifetime, the result of which will test American democracy and shape the future of the free world.
