Synopsis

Nobody explains the ingenious ways that the ancient Incas engineered their cities better than Ken Wright and his colleagues. These four books open a unique window on the everyday life of the Incas by showing how they collected, used, disposed of, and worshipped precious water resources. Each book encapsulates the original engineering and scientific research by Ken Wright, Alfredo Valencia Zegarra, Gordon McEwan, Ruth Wright, and others.

Marvel at the water systems of Machu Picchu. Tour the canals, plazas, and fountains of Tipon. Ponder the riddle of the sunken terraces of Moray. Explore the sacred water temple, Incamisana. Lavishly illustrated with photographs and drawings, these books are accessible to all readers interested in the Incan civilization.
