I had Dr. Christenson as a professor and his work is excellent. He has spent years living with the maya and becoming intimately acquainted with their culture; they even allow him to participate in some of their rituals. I believe the advantage of his work is not so much his language understanding (though it is far from lacking), but his comprehension of the culture. When he translates, he knows what the phrase or idea meant to the ancient maya, and translates accordingly. He also includes extensive and interesting footnotes about maya beliefs. For understanding the people behind the work, Dr. Christenson is one of your best sources.
A must have for everyone who study mayan culture and history.
