Notes:  36 papers refuting the idea that the Terminal Classic Collapse (A.D. 750-1050) was the single greatest cause of the Maya collapse.  “Contributors recognize the existence of four droughts that correlate with periods of demographic and political decline and identify a variety of concurrent political and social issues.  They argue that thses primary underlying factors were exacerbated by drought conditions and ultimately led to societal transitions that were by no means uniform across various sites and subregions.”  (From the Publisher)
