“Biologist, conservationist and photographer Thor Janson has worked in Central America for nearly thirty years. In this book he reveals his deep love and respect for the land and its inhabitants through 250 stunning color photographs accompanied by short descriptive text. An introduction by anthropologist Robert M. Carmack provides a brief history of the Maya. Together, these writings coupled with the pictures present an understanding of the ‘land of green lightning’ so complete as to make each one of us feel protective of such a precious place.”
