“A wonderful tribute to A Forest of Kings. It captures the spirit of that work and highlights many of the discoveries made since its publication. Oftentimes, the papers in this volume portray A Forest of Kings as prescient: it certainly was.”—James Fitzsimmons, Middlebury College  “Stanton and Brown have done an excellent job bringing together world-class scholars who continue to push the advancement of Maya studies through their contributions. These works highlight the depth of knowledge that archaeologists, epigraphers, and art historians have gained over the past twenty-five-plus years.”—Jeffrey B. Glover, Georgia State University
