Title: Loa teotihuacana
Description: Brief study that "praises" the powerful and vastly populated city of Teotihuacan: in its full glory, with its temples, palaces and monumental pyramids covered with limestone and the different theories proposed for the cause of its decline: a drought caused by decreased rainfall, deforestation and excessive consumption of river water for domestic and irrigation use, causing famine along with the deteriorating economic conditions that may have contributed to the internal revolts against the political elites and outside invaders. "This book is an offering written to the nine centuries of Teotihuacán and is enriched with photographs who try to build a passage in time to connect the archaeological site of today with the living city of the past. The images are the offering of a photographer who has made Teotihuacan the nucleus and melting pot of his profession." (HKB Translation) --Verso cover.
