Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this book, Duccio Bonavia tackles major questions about these camelids, from their domestication to their distribution at the time of the Spanish conquest. One of Bonavia's hypotheses is that the arrival of the Europeans and their introduced Old World animals forced the Andean camelids away from the Pacific coast, creating the (mistaken) impression that camelids were exclusively high-altitude animals. Bonavia also addresses the diseases of camelids and their population density, suggesting that the original camelid populations suffered from a different type of mange than that introduced by the Europeans. This new mange, he believes, was one of the causes behind the great morbidity of camelids in Colonial times. In terms of domestication, while Bonavia believes that the major centers must have been the puna zone intermediate zones, he adds that the process should not be seen as restricted to a single environmental zone.".

Book excerpt: Known for their woolly charm, sure-footed strength, and a propensity to spit at you if you bother them too much, llamas have had a rich and diverse history. Since their domestication high in the Andes, they have been farmed, smuggled, sacrificed, and sometimes kept around just to be petted. They have functioned at different times as luxury commodities, literary muses, and national symbols, and they have served by turns as beasts of burden, circus performers, and even golf caddies. In this book, Helen Cowie charts the fascinating history of llamas and their close relatives, alpacas, guanacos, and vicuñas. Cowie illustrates how deeply the Incas venerated llamas and shows how the animals are still cherished in their native lands in Peru and Bolivia, remaining central to Andean culture. She also tells the story of attempts to introduce llamas and alpacas to Britain, the United States, and Australia, where they are used today for trekking, wool production, and even as therapy animals. Packed with llama drama and alpaca facts, this book will delight animal lovers, fans of natural history, and anyone who just can’t resist these inimitable animals’ off-the-charts cuteness factor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book leading experts uncover and discuss archaeological topics and themes surrounding the long-term trajectory of camelid (llama and alpaca) pastoralism in the Andean highlands of South America. The chapters open up these studies to a wider world by exploring the themes of intensification of herding over time, animal-human relationships, and social transformations, as well as navigating four areas of recent research: the origins of domesticated camelids, variation in the development of pastoralist traditions, ritual and animal sacrifice, and social interaction through caravans. Andeanists and pastoral scholars alike will find this comprehensive work an invaluable contribution to their library and studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three men disappear in the Peruvian Andes where a guerilla group resides, in the Nobel Laureate’s “intriguing political detective story . . . A terrific novel” (Kirkus Reviews). In Death in the Andes, Mario Vargas Llosa returns to the world of Corporal Lituma and his assistant Tomas Correo, last seen in Who Killed Palomino Molero?. Through his chilling tale of mystery, Vargas Llosa weaves an intricate tapestry of stark political realities and age-old Andean mysticism. When three men go missing and are presumed dead, suspicion falls on the Peruvian Marxist group Sendero Luminoso, or Shining Path. As Lituma and Correo investigate, they find themselves embroiled in the remote corners of an isolated community, which is itself caught in the web of violent guerrilla warfare. Part detective thriller, part political allegory, Death in the Andes shimmers with an undercurrent of magical realism. The narrative’s panoramic view of Peruvian society illuminates its violent present, deeply entrenched in its rich yet haunting past.
