The Andes are attracting global interest again: they hold valuable mineral resources, tourists appreciate their great natural beauty and the diversity of indigenous cultures, climbers scale rock and ice faces, while many others are intrigued by regional political developments, such as the Bolivarian revolution in Venezuela or the almost unfettered hegemony of the neoliberal economic model in Chile. This volume is the first attempt for decades to present a complete overview of the longest mountain chain on the planet – a region of remarkable climatic, floristic and geologic diversity, where advanced civilization developed well before the arrival of the Spanish. Today the Andes continue to be characterized by their ethnic, demographic, cultural and economic diversity, as well as by the disparity of local socioeconomic groups. The Andean countries pursue a wide range of approaches to tackle the challenges of making the best use of their natural and cultural potential without damaging their ecological basis, as well as to overcome economic disparity and foster social cohesion. This book provides insights into this unique region and its most pressing issues, complemented by a wealth of pictures and comprehensive diagrams, which, in sum, help to better understand these fascinating mountains.

The Andes form the backbone of South America. Irradiating from Cuzco--the symbolic "navel" of the indigenous world--the mountain range was home to an extraordinary theocratic empire and civilization, the Incas, who built stone temples, roads, palaces, and forts. The clash between Atahualpa, the last Inca, and the illiterate conquistador Pizarro, between indigenous identity and European mercantile values, has forged Andean culture and history for the last 500 years. Jason Wilson explores the 5,000-mile chain of volcanoes, deep valleys, and upland plains, revealing the Andes' mystery, inaccessibility, and power through the insights of chroniclers, scientists, and modern-day novelists. His account starts at sacred Cuzco and Machu Picchu, moves along imagined Inca routes south to Lake Titicaca, La Paz, Potos?, and then follows the Argentine and Chilean Andes to Patagonia. It then moves north through Chimborazo, Quito, and into Colombia, along the Cauca Valley up to Bogot? and east to Caracas. Looking at the literature inspired by the Andes as well as its turbulent history, this book brings to life the region's spectacular landscapes and the many ways in which they have been imagined.

A magnificent tour of the world's longest mountain range. The Andes of South America is the youngest, longest, most varied mountain range on the planet. Its 4,500 miles of rock and ice, forests and deserts, smoldering volcanoes and razor-sharp granite spires span the same distance as New York to Moscow. The Andes mountains are still in the full throes of formation. This dramatic process reveals itself in breathtaking forms thousands of feet high. The Andes examines this astonishing natural phenomenon with superb color photography and richly detailed text. The Andes describes: The effects of the region's plate tectonics Ecuador's cloud forests and volcanoes Peru's windswept plateaus The canyons and wetlands along the Peru-Chile border The terrain from Amazon rainforest to the Pacific desert coast The Altiplano of Bolivia The mystery forest of the Great Patagonian Divide The fiords, islands, glaciers and steppes from Patagonia to Cape Horn. Each chapter on a specific region begins with a comprehensive introduction explaining essential geological and environmental facts. Stunning color photographs of the region's landscape, plants and animals bear concise, explanatory captions. The Andes is an expansive book that beautifully captures the extraordinary environments of this spectacular mountain range.
