1.The Last Days of the IncasThe Last Days of the Incas
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
Last Days of the Incas is a splendid book, a complex story well told. Readable and compelling. What I particularly enjoyed: bookending the narrative of fall of the Inca empire with the 20th century hunt for Machu Picchu, Vilcabama, and other Inca sites; inspired comparisons, such as between Wall... more info

Ce nouveau guide des oiseaux du Pérou écrase largement l'ancien qui sur le terrain ne permettait pas de reconnaître grand chose !

3.[no image]The Conquest of the Incas
from Papermac

Customer Review:
A must read for anybody interested in one of the most amazing events in world history. I recommend reading the book before and (especially) after traveling to Peru. The key battles and turning points of the conquest are analyzed from both the viewpoint of the Spaniards and the Incas.

4.Ayahuasca Visions: The Religious Iconography of a Peruvian ShamanAyahuasca Visions: The Religious Iconography of a Peruvian Shaman
from North Atlantic Books

Customer Review:
I have tried time and again to pick up this book and read the text in sequence, but the full-page color plates of Pablo Amaringo's paintings always pull me away from the text and into the world of shamans, angels, devils, serpents, jungle cats, mermaids, and aliens. I've read a lot of the text, but... more info

Customer Review:
Really good collection of a variety of excerpts from some interesting books. A lot of good poetry too; like Osman Morote's "A Frightening Thirst for Violence":

Price: $10.36

Customer Review:
I bought this because of an upcoming trip to Machu Picchu. The first part about the last days of the Inca kings was very interesting. A lot of the discovery or rather rediscovery part was very interesting. Some of it was tedious georgraphical details that made very slow reading. Most of his comments... more info

8.The Angry Aztecs and the Incredible Incas (Horrible Histories Collections)The Angry Aztecs and the Incredible Incas (Horrible Histories Collections)
from Scholastic
Price: $12.34

Customer Review:
There has been some criticism of the Horrible Histories as misinformed and simplistic, but this particular volume is wonderful. I've studied the Aztecs by looking at the Florentine Codex and reading scholarly works on the subject, and the "Angry Aztecs" gets quite a lot of the information right. It... more info

9.The Lost Tomb of ViracochaThe Lost Tomb of Viracocha
from Headline Book Publishing

Customer Review:
I like his style to a point. However, I prefer the explanantions found in the Book Of Mormon. So get past the election year rhetoric and find out about the ancient Americas.

This is a wonderful book written by an anthropologist who spent several years in an isolated Andean ayllu (community) located a good number of miles from the provincial center of Colquepata. The attraction of this book is that, unlike most authors responsible for the ever proliferating literature on... more info
