Alan Covey supplements an archaeological approach with the tools of a historian, forming an interdisciplinary study of how the Incas became sufficiently powerful to embark on an unprecedented campaign of territorial expansion and how such developments related to earlier patterns of Andean statecraft."--BOOK JACKET.

Wonders in the Sacred Valley of the Incas: Pisac to Machu Picchu By: Garfield Tavernier Wonders in the Sacred Valley of the Incas is a practical, interesting, and informative guide to the heartland of the Incas, including the legendary capital City of Cuzco and the main archeological and geographical sites in the Valley, from Pisac to Machu Picchu. The Vilcanota Valley is widely acclaimed for its natural beauty; dominated by the majestic mountain range; basking in blowing breezes of the finest airs and carved by the roaring waters of the river running into pools of sweet serenity. Accurate data points, keen analysis, and firsthand observations provide insight and perspective for the casual traveler or the curious reader. It also dispels the many myths about the marvelous and mystical sanctuary and retreat between the Picchus, now widely acclaimed as a Wonder of the World.

"Photographer Hubbard ( First Light ) is as accomplished in the use of language as in the use of the camera. The 71 black-and-white pictures here convey the ageless dignity of people and places, though their slightly romanticized aura fails to reflect some of the harsher realities Hubbard writes of. The accompanying text also captures and preserves moments in time in simple, lyrical prose. Hubbard settled into the ancient Peruvian town of Ollantaytambo in a quest for spiritual enrichment, yet he omits nothing of the equivocal day-to-day reality he discovers: his camping gear is whisked away by thieves during a split-second lapse in his attention; government troops fighting the guerrillas of the Sendero Luminoso become increasingly intrusive; and his closest friend and spiritual comrade takes money Hubbard has given him to start a clinic and uses it for himself and his friends instead. But Hubbard finds the people themselves and their struggle to survive to be the greatest reservoir of Peru's sacred energy, and he admirably documents it in this lovely book."--From Publishers Weekly.
