Review Quotes
"This well-written book addresses innovation and social change among the Classic Maya (300-1000 A. D.) and is highly innovative in itself since it deals with an issue Mayanists have rarely addressed before. . . . This is imagination as a potential for innovation used by individuals who are embedded in a society governed by its own logic and ontology."--Anthropos
"[An] engaging, valuable book. . . . Anchored in deep acquaintance and appreciation of the myriad perspectives now informing engagement with the material remains of the Maya past, its reasoned sequence of formidably intricate, yet clearly didactic critiques of ideas relevant to interpreting how innovation and creativity might have manifested over time in Maya social life and culture are the point."--Journal of Anthropological Research
"Con el libro War Owl Falling, Markus Eberl ha contribuido al estudio de los mayas clásicos de una forma que combina de manera innovadora lo descriptivo y empírico con la interpretación sociológica."--Iberoamericana: América Latina - España - Portugal
