History of the Inca Realm

Nice book as described. Fast delivery. Thanks!

The author is widely known for her work in this field. I have not yet finished it but it is clear this is an unusually thorough examination of precursors and the development of the Inca civilization. She uses many Spanish language resources. Pictures, unfortunately. just fair.,

I fell in love with Peru!!! I want to learn all there is to know about it and what better than those that have explored it and studied it before I did. I feel enriched with Incan knowledge already...

This book is a wonderful source of information regarding the stablishment of the nobelity in the Inca Empire - Peru - Tawantinsuyu. It explains how they obtained their accomplishments and their way of rulling such vast land.I love it!!I got the book about a year ago, I'm still rereading it again and again.I purchased it used, it arrived on time and as it was described.Thanks.

One of the best books on Inca history extant. The English translation is very good, particular in view of the academic level of vocabulary the author needed to use because of the nature of the subject.

Very difficult to read. It is a transliterated book from Spanish. Great content, but reading it takes work.

If this is the best we have for a history of the Inca Empire, we are not in possession, and may never be able to get, a history of the Incas. This book does not attempt to tell the reader what happened and why: rather, it lists innumerable names, and speculates on the origin of the names, and tells the reader that various accounts give different names for different people, or the same names for different people, and speculates as to why it is impossible to untangle what actually happened and who did it, let alone why or for what motive.Throughout, there are innumerable references to places that are not on the two or three very rudimentary maps. So the reader is geographically at a loss. Chronologically, the same is true. The dates of the four or five Inca rulers, each of which may have more than one name or may be different people, are not provided.All you learn from this book is that we know very little indeed about the Inca Empire.

The Inca culture is a very great sourece for the human being. But until now we do not know it very much. We need more and more information to know the true Inca. How ? The Inca is not only the Inca trail or the Machu Picchu, nor the stone only, The trational food, the music, the festive, their language (not the Spanish) ,all of those are the true Inca culture. But we do not see any one investigate it. What is pachamama? It mean the origin of the earth,the source of the earth,the mother of the earth. Where is the Inca now? We need to know the reeason why it disappeared. Maybe the answers will save our future.
