The title covers terrace farming, irrigation, livestock, and the role of mit’a labor in ancient Peru. Through the text’s coverage of the government’s distribution of goods and services, readers will understand why the society is sometimes called a utopia. Written with age-appropriate language and accompanied by highly detailed images, this title makes classroom social studies concepts accessible for readers.

The Inca Empire's immense territory spanned more than 2,000 miles - from Ecuador to Chile - at the time of the Spanish invasion, yet Inca culture remains largely a mystery. The Incas did not leave pictorial codices and documents in their native language as the Maya and Aztec did and they narrated to Spanish chroniclers just a few of the multiple alternative histories maintained by descendants of various rulers. In this classic work, Nigel Davies offers a clear view into Inca political history, economy, governance, religion, art, architecture, and daily life. The Incas has become a classic in its many years in print; readers and scholars interested in ancient American cultures will relish this paperback edition.

A new translation and introduction to an invaluable source of information on the last and largest empire to develop in the indigenous Americas. The History of the Incas may be the best description of Inca life and mythology to survive Spanish colonization of Peru. Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa, a well-educated sea captain and cosmographer of the viceroyalty, wrote the document in Cuzco, the capital of the Inca Empire, just forty years after the arrival of the first Spaniards. The royal sponsorship of the work guaranteed Sarmiento direct access to the highest Spanish officials in Cuzco. It allowed him to summon influential Incas, especially those who had witnessed the fall of the Empire. Sarmiento also traveled widely and interviewed numerous local lords (curacas), as well as surviving members of the royal Inca families. Once completed, in an unprecedented effort to establish the authenticity of the work, Sarmiento’s manuscript was read, chapter by chapter, to forty-two indigenous authorities for commentary and correction. The scholars behind this new edition (the first to be published in English since 1907) went to similarly great lengths in pursuit of accuracy. Translators Brian Bauer and Vania Smith used an early transcript and, in some instances, the original document to create the text. Bauer and Jean-Jacques Decoster’s introduction lays bare the biases Sarmiento incorporated into his writing. It also theorizes what sources, in addition to his extensive interviews, Sarmiento relied upon to produce his history. Finally, more than sixty new illustrations enliven this historically invaluable document of life in the ancient Andes.

In her book It's All in The Playing, Shirley MacLaine introduces us to Anton Ponce de Leon Paiva as a researcher of the UFO phenomenon, but in this book The Wisdom of the Ancient ONE he tells the story of his initiation into an ancient Inca tradition. It is the first book to document this tradition of ancient pre-Inca knowledge, a tradition still alive in the hidden regions of the Andes today. The book provides the reader with a deep understanding of the Solar Brotherhood mystical school of life, as well as an approach by which this understanding can be incorporated into one's daily life. Anton meets here the master Nina Soncco, spiritual head of the Hermandad Solar of the Intic Churincuna and he tells about his 7 days initiation in this ancient brotherhood of the Andes.

The volume is dedicated to the presentation of the Incas from the information that has come down to us from ancient records, from mythology and from archaeology. Drawing upon the latest researches and sources on the subject, the volume seeks to unfold to the larger public the historical conditions, reasons and events that led to Incas' success between the 13th and 15th centuries AD in imposing their domination upon the numerous populations native to the vast Andean territory. In presenting the historical records and archaeological evidences that relate the conquests and deeds of the sovereigns, from the legendary Manco Capac to Tupac Amaru, the last 'Son of the Sun,' this book provides an understanding of how the Incas developed from a small ethnic group to become an imperial power. In addition, special attention is given to in-depth examinations that enable the reader to understand the complex structure of Incan society and its political, economic and religious organization. Following the winding path of the Urubamba River across the so-called Sacred Valley, the heart of the empire, this volume, with the support of splendid images, visits the famous archaeological sites where, in a magnificent collaboration with the environment, the Incas were able to mold their own history through the construction of roads, hanging bridges, sanctuaries and cities. The Incas developed a culture that was the end result of a long process of transformation which involved all the thousand-year old Pre-Hispanic civilizations of the Peruvian area: they were however able, more than any predecessor or challenger, to build relationships and dominate far-flung and extremely varied territory. For this reason, they remain the unifying symbol of the modern Andean nations. AUTHOR: Carolina Orsini (1972) is curator of the extra-European Collections of the Civic Museums' Applied Art Collection of the Castello Sforzesco, Milan. For nearly a decade she has undertaken - and still undertakes - field work in the Peruvian Andes, where she directs the works of the Antonio Raimondi Archaeology and Anthropology Mission, in collaboration with the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and various Peruvian institutions. Orsini graduated in Indigenous Civilizations of America at the University of Bologna; she obtained a diploma in archaeology at the High School for Cultural Heritage of the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa and she subsequently obtained the Ph.D at the University of Bologna with a thesis on the landscape archaeology of the Chacas Valley in Peru. She is member of the national board of the Peruvian archaeologists and is one of the Italian representatives for the Corpus Americanensium Italicum project of Brussels' Academy of Sciences. In recent years she has collaborated with many Italian and foreign museum institutions as guest researcher and as scientific consultant for American-themed exhibitions, and has organized various exhibitions on non-European cultures at the Castello Sforzesco. Orsini has written many scientific articles about American-Indian cultures, besides numerous monographs on the ancient Pre-Hispanic cultures of Peru. Colour illustrations
