People of the Volcano: Andean Counterpoint in the Colca Valley of Peru
ISBN: 9780822339717 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. While it now attracts many tourists, the Colca Valley of Peru's southern Andes was largely isolated from the outside world until the 1970s, when a passable road was built linking the valley--and its colonial churches, terraced hillsides, and deep canyon--to the city of Arequipa and its airport, eight hours away. Noble David Cook and his co-researcher Alexandra Parma Cook have been studying the Colca Valley since 1974, and this detailed ethnohistory reflects their decades-long engagement with the valley, its history, and its people. Drawing on unusually rich surviving documentary evidence,...

Born to Die: Disease and New World Conquest, 1492-1650
ISBN: 9780521627306 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Noble David Cook explains, in vivid detail and sweeping scope, how the conquest of the New World was achieved by a handful of Europeans--not by the sword, but by deadly disease. The Aztec and Inca empires with their teeming millions were destroyed by a few hundred Europeans whose most important weapons, though the conquerors did not realize it at the time, were diseases previously unknown in the Americas. The end result of the colonizing experience in the Americas, whether of the Portuguese, Dutch, Spanish, English, or French, was the collapse of native society.
