Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This work embraces a period of some 11,000 years, ranging from the ancient cultures of the Andean peoples to the zenith of Incan civilization in the 16th century, before its subsequent, rapid demise at the hands of the Spaniards. The objects chosen to illustrate the volume (ceramics, fabric, and metalwork tend to dominate) were provided by the American Museum of Natural History, and the color photography is splendid. Presenting up-to-date archaeological and anthropological scholarship, the text offers a detailed and thoroughly readable account, which, complemented by the rich illustrative work, makes for an attractive book. Highly recommended for collections emphasizing archaeology, anthropology, and Latin American studies.
