Daily Life in the Inca Empire,
By A Customer
This review is from: Daily Life in the Inca Empire (The Greenwood Press Daily Life Through History Series) (Hardcover)
This book discusses the Inka in-depth, carefully using archaeological and historical evidence, in a way which brings them to life for the reader. The author manages to combine detail and easy reading without compromising either. In preparation to give a college lecture on the Inka, I got this book out of the library along with about 10 other scholarly texts. In the end, there was nothing in any of those other books that this book didn't cover just as thoroughly, but in a format which made it more interesting to read! This would be a terrific book for armchair archaeologists as well as students and teachers.

My first book on Inca civilization...,

This review is from: Daily Life in the Inca Empire (The Greenwood Press Daily Life Through History Series) (Hardcover)
I've always been enamored with ancient civilizations. Greece and Rome weighed heavily in my architectural education, Medieval Europe and Feudal Japan appealed to my notions of honor and duty, but frankly I know little about ancient Americans. This book gave me (as a newcomer) the opportunity to get inside Inca life, mentally walk the streets of Cuzco, and wonder at the remaining Inca culture. It is readable for the novice and I recommend it for anyone interested in visiting Peru.
