We all know that the
press jumps to fashionable subjects ignoring other subjects that
might be related. It is not only the press actually, book publishers
behave the same way. Here is an example: Maya sculpture. Everybody
knows about Maya pyramids but not many people know anything about
Maya sculpture. An exhibition in the Museum of Anthropology in Mexico
City suggests that ancient Maya sculpture was very
interesting (to say the least). However, even the museum shop doesn't
have any publication on the subject, either in English or in Spanish.
