The Oxford Handbook of the Aztecs eds. by Deborah L Nichols and Enrique Rodríguez-Alegría (review)

As one of many handbooks published by Oxford University Press to provide valuable reference material for scholars and libraries, this volume is an impressive undertaking. It consists of 49 articles that cover the breadth of Aztec culture from a variety of perspectives. Overwhelmingly, the authors of these articles are archeologists and anthropologists. But experts from related fields, such as Anthony Aveni, an archeo-astronomer, also provide some important contributions. As with any undertaking this size, the results are uneven. Some articles will remain definitive as a synthesis of research as of this time. Others are not well written, confusing, and do not move scholarship forward.
