{"product_id":"9781543413328","title":"Sports, Games, and Gambling in the Aztec World","description":"Sports, Games, and Gambling in the Aztec World consists of a series of original essays written by Professor Wasserman over a twenty-year period. These essays review and discuss the psychological dynamics involved in the three major Aztec sports and games: patolli (the dice game), tlachtli (the ball game), and Volador (the game of vertigo). In addition, as part of the collection, there is a creative piece showing that poetry, although not considered a game or sport, was viewed by an honored king in the Aztec world—Nezahualcoyotl or Hungry Coyote—as a human gamble with death itself.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47161420349680,"sku":"9781543413328","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781543413328_p0.jpg?v=1763749297","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781543413328","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
