Peter Mathews

Big Corporations and their super wealthy owners have bought many politicians through campaign donations and lobbying. These politicians vote to benefit their donors more than the people. They have outsourced our jobs; dismantled our public education and colleges; neglected our healthcare; destroyed our environment; brought us global warming and climate disruption; polluted our food supplies by deregulating Big Agribusiness, allowing pesticide use and Genetically Modified (GMO) foods; brought on the Wall Street crash and Great Recession, from which the bottom 99% of Americans have not yet recovered, while the super wealthy top 1% get richer. These Corporate sponsored policies created the greatest gap between the rich and poor since the Great Depression, and a disappearing middle class. Professor Peter Mathews critiques this "Dollar Democracy on Steroids" which brings Liberty and Justice for Some, and he also provides solutions that will bring Liberty and Justice for All Peter Mathews life's work involves educating the public on accurate facts and progressive ideas in order to create and expand equal opportunity in America and the world. This has driven his quest for economic and social justice through the media and his work in the community.

This unique and extraordinary guide to seven major sites of Maya civilization highlights the pioneering work of two great scholars of ancient America. For readers at every level -- from the casual tourist to the serious student -- The Code of Kings relies on Linda Schele and Peter Mathews's revolutionary work in the decipherment of the hieroglyphs that cover the surfaces of Maya ruins to give us a far clearer picture of Maya culture than we have ever had. Richly illustrated with line art and the incomparable photography of Justin Kerr and Macduff Everton, The Code of Kings is a landmark contribution to our understanding of the Maya and a phenomenal guided tour of seven of the most awesome and magical spots on Earth.

For more than 25 years the Peabody Museum has been publishing "The Corpus of Maya Hieroglyphic Inscriptions" under the editorial and artistic direction of Mayanist Ian Graham. The goal of this unique series of folio volumes is to document in photographs and detailed line drawings all known Maya inscriptions and their associated figurative art. When complete, the "Corpus" will have published the inscriptions from over 200 sites and 2,000 monuments. The series has been instrumental in the remarkable success of the ongoing process of deciphering Maya writing, making available hundreds of texts to epigraphers working around the world. Each volume in the series consists of three fascicles, which examine an individual site or group of neighboring sites and include maps of site location and plans indicating the placement monuments within each site. Each inscription is reproduced in its entirety in both photographs and line drawings. The text of each volume presents descriptive information about the sites and monuments and their associated artifacts. This fascicle includes addenda to introductory text for the site Tonina; appendix with sources of sculpture and their codes; index to volumes 1 through six; and one oversized map in pocket.
