520 1  "Aztec City-State Capitals advances Mesoamerican 
       scholarship by focusing attention on the urban centers 
       outside the empire's capital of Tenochtitlan. Dozens of 
       smaller cities were central hubs of political, economic, 
       and religious life, integral to the grand infrastructure 
       of the Aztec empire. Through this detailed examination, 
       Michael E. Smith demonstrates the synchronicity of 
       politics and urban design within the Aztec realm."--
