Flower Mountain revealed: innovation and social change in ancient societies -- Wings for hummingbirds to fly with: creativity as a play of symbols -- Itzamnaaj's court: creativity embedded in social opportunity structures -- Bleibt alles anders: modeling invention -- A ruler just like me: status, power, and innovation -- Stillman wanders, Babel rises: innovation's impact on structures -- Names of the owl: exploring creativity and innovation.

Summary: Unlike earlier geometric decorations, the war owls and other eighth-century motifs relate to Classic Maya art and writing. Eberl probes their meaning by comparing where they occur and by situating them in social structures that circumscribe individual action.
