Drawing from historical sources, iconography, and beliefs of modern Indians, Lopez Austin (philosophy and letters, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico) offers a new interpretation of the two mysterious places in the world vision of the Aztecs. Chapters on each of the two are supported with discussions of the relationships of the essences and making a model based on contemporary native concepts.
