D’ALTROYColumbia University“There have been many syntheses of the Inca culture of theCentral Andes of South America, but this one, by the leader inInca studies, surpasses them all.”CHOICEThe great empire of the Incas at its height encompassed an area ofwestern South America comparable in size to the Roman Empire inEurope. This book describes and explains its extraordinary progressfrom a small Andean society in southern Peru to its rapid demiselittle more than a century later at the hands of the Spanishconquerors.THE INCAS is the first book fully to synthesize history and archaeologyin a sweeping exploration of the entire empire from Chile toEcuador. The author explains how the Incas drew from millennia ofcultural developments to mould a diverse land into a dynamic,powerful, and yet fragile polity. From this integrated perspective,THE INCAS profoundly rethinks the nature of imperial formation,ideology, and social, economic, and political relations in Inca society.408 PAGES / 1-4051-1676-5 PB / 2003TheTheNasca,NascaHELAINE SILVERMAN &DONALD A.
