    The Aztecs: A Very Short Introduction by David Carrasco is a succinct but comprehensive history of the, in many ways infamous, ancient Latin American civilization known as the Aztecs. His book goes through an overview of the foundation and creation of the Aztec culture and way of life, their expansion, their taboo rituals of sacrifice and reputation as a violent and warlike group, and eventually the fall of the civilization as a whole.

In North America, though certain groups like the Hopi, Zuni, and Mound Builders formed large cities (Foner, 6), and some other groups had at least semi-permanent settlements, these were nothing to compare with the immense civilizations of South America.
