| 1. |  | The Last Days of the Incas
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $11.53
Customer Review:
The Last Days of the Incas is by far the most interesting history/non fiction book I have ever read. It reads much like a novel, brining the history of the Spanish conquest of Peru into vivid clarity and making the book extremely hard to put down. If you have an interest in the history of Peru, or... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from Thames & Hudson
Price: $15.30
Customer Review:
Just wondering why a rebuttal to the pro-"La Raza" racism found in the previous posts was deleted while Miguel's anti-Christian rhetoric is allowed to stand. I have a whole lot of Mexican brothers and sisters who are proud of who they are without throwing whitey (and Jesus) in the dirt.

| 5. |  | The Incas and Their Ancestors: The Archaeology of Peru (Revised Edition)
from Thames & Hudson
Price: $22.41
Customer Review:
The book is written in elaborate English - not easy to read but very elegant. Although it is supposed to be an introduction it should be read at least two times to fertilize one's mind. Author present his vision of Peruvian prehistory in a "reversed" order. He begins with Incas (1/5 of the whole... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 6. |  | Reading the Maya Glyphs
from Thames & Hudson
Customer Review:
Perhaps the problem lies less with the authors and more with the language, but I suspect both are guilty of making this study of Maya glyphs as enjoyable as mowing a near vertical lawn in 100 degree weather. Imagine being asked to name and recognize each of the 101 Dalmations (with the understanding... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I have been to Guatemala five times and know a fair bit about the history but I was looking for some more insight into what is known about the Mayans and their language. This book was a difficult read for a non-archeologoist. | 4.5 / 5.0

from Indiana University Press
Price: $19.77
Customer Review:
Justice's "Stone Age Spear and Arrow Points" is a must have for anyone interested in Midwestern prehistoric lithic technology. A number of localized and somewhat regional typology books are available, but none attempts such a widespread regional synthesis. Two primary features make Justice the best... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
