And Angkor Wat is but one of the jewels in the glittering crown of the 500~year~old civilization in Cambodia, a civilization that reached its zenith during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The Khmer produced a large range of "monuments" deserving not only our admiration but also our understanding. This book is devoted to revealing these in stunning ful~lcolor photographs and stimulating text. The book concentrates on the "classical" era of the Khmer, centered at Angkor, but it also examines the centuries before and after. Neither a history nor an art book, Ancient Cambodia bridges these two perspectives by placing the Khmer temples and other monuments into the full context of historical, religious, social, economic, technical, and artistic forces. But since so much remains to be discovered and concluded about this remarkable civilization, any honest and serious exploration must be tentative, probing, and questioning. Therefore, one of the book's special dimensions is to give the reader a sense of participating in this ongoing search. The appeal and value of the book are enhanced by the 111 photographs, all taken especially for the book. Many subjects are revealed to the general public for the first time in color. Viewing the photographs and their captions is a true trip of discovery through Cambodia and the Khmer civilrnzation. The written word of the civilizations, including an "anthology" of translations from various Khmer, Sanskrit, Chinese, and other texts, complement and confirm the archaeological witnesses. Other important features are: an essay, "The Discovery of the Khmer Monuments by the West," a fascinating revelation of how little~and how much~has been learned over the years; maps of relevant areas; a chronological chart; lists of museums in North America where collections of Khmer art and artifacts can be seen, and books that will aid in further discoveries by interested readers.
