The book wasn't overly technical and included some nice illustrations to explain the more technical engineering concepts, as well as several beautiful colour photographs of Maya architecture and tools. The stage by stage construction of a typical Maya arch was particularly well done. This book was stuffed full of interesting information relayed by a very "relaxed" writing style - for an engineer/scientist, this author writes beautifully.
You should read this book if you are even vaguely interested in the Maya, ancient civilizations in general, or the work of Christopher Dunn.
