This book is a review of research on the prehistoric and historic
evolution of the Basin of Mexico’s lacustrine systems. Based on
this review, the book presents a model of long and short-term natural
lacustrine dynamics as the basis for understanding the processes of
human adaptation and transformation of the aquatic ecosystems of the
Basin of Mexico. Although only remains of the former lakes exist, the
book stresses the importance of the knowledge of the former natural
and cultural history of the lakes. In this sense, the book addresses
the misconceptions and misinterpretations of the lakes that still
exist in the literature and the media and that do not reflect the real
nature of the lakes in the past. Therefore, the book attempts to
not only feed into the local knowledge of the lakes, but also
contribute to the worldwide knowledge of lacustrine dynamics and human
populations that lived in and around them. The book should be of
interest to geographers, geologists, archaeologists, natural
historians and environmental scientists, civil engineers, city
planners and those involved in the management of natural resources.
