Using research on contemporary Maya farming techniques and important new archaeological research, Ford and Nigh refute this Malthusian explanation of events in ancient Central America and posit a radical alternative theory. The authorsshow that ancient Maya farmers developed ingenious, sustainable woodland techniques to cultivate numerous food plants (including the staple maize)examine both contemporary tropical farming techniques and the archaeological record (particularly regarding climate) to reach their conclusionsmake the argument that these ancient techniques, still in use today, can support significant populations over long periods of time.
