Vicuñas

Book Description
The Vicuña-an animal with near-mythical characteristics that you may have never heard of. For centuries, the Vicuña's story lay hidden 16,000 feet above sea level in the Andes Mountains of Peru. Now, in the first-ever comprehensive book dedicated to the Vicuña, Mike Safley weaves a tale as fine and as delicate as the Vicuña's priceless fleece. Once thought by ancient Peruvian animists to be a deity, Vicuñas roamed the Andes in millions, protected by their sacred status. However, as time marched on, so did the Vicuña's journey to endangered species designation. Poachers realized that the Vicuña fleece could fetch riches beyond their imaginations. To the outside world, the Vicuña fleece was worth more than gold, and everyone wanted a piece of the action. Within years, the once-prosperous Vicuña herds dwindled, and as recently as 1970, only 1,000 Vicuñas remained in the Pampa Galeras Reserve. Peruvians had a decision to make-watch the Vicuñas vanish in front of their eyes or do something about it. What follows is one of the great untold conservation efforts in history. Working together, the international fashion industry, the Peruvian government, and Andean shepherds formed an unlikely marriage that pulled the Vicuña back from the brink of extinction. The story of these improbable partners plays on the following pages in never-before-published pictures. In addition to illuminating what makes the Vicuña one of the most captivating animals in the world, this book will show its readers why the Vicuña's conservation model can help save other endangered animals from an untimely fate.

A History of World Agriculture
Author: Marcel Mazoyer
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 1583674918
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 529
Book Description
Only once we understand the long history of human efforts to draw sustenance from the land can we grasp the nature of the crisis that faces humankind today, as hundreds of millions of people are faced with famine or flight from the land. From Neolithic times through the earliest civilizations of the ancient Near East, in savannahs, river valleys and the terraces created by the Incas in the Andean mountains, an increasing range of agricultural techniques have developed in response to very different conditions. These developments are recounted in this book, with detailed attention to the ways in which plants, animals, soil, climate, and society have interacted. Mazoyer and Roudart’s A History of World Agriculture is a path-breaking and panoramic work, beginning with the emergence of agriculture after thousands of years in which human societies had depended on hunting and gathering, showing how agricultural techniques developed in the different regions of the world, and how this extraordinary wealth of knowledge, tradition and natural variety is endangered today by global capitialism, as it forces the unequal agrarian heritages of the world to conform to the norms of profit. During the twentieth century, mechanization, motorization and specialization have brought to a halt the pattern of cultural and environmental responses that characterized the global history of agriculture until then. Today a small number of corporations have the capacity to impose the farming methods on the planet that they find most profitable. Mazoyer and Roudart propose an alternative global strategy that can safegaurd the economies of the poor countries, reinvigorate the global economy, and create a livable future for mankind.

Machu Picchu
Author: Johan Reinhard
Publisher: Cotsen Institute of Archaeology Press
ISBN: 1938770927
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Machu Picchu, recently voted one of the New Wonders of the World, is one of the world's most famous archaeological sites, yet it remains a mystery. Even the most basic questions are still unanswered: What was its meaning and why was it built in such a difficult location? Renowned explorer Johan Reinhard attempts to answer such elusive questions from the perspectives of sacred landscape and archaeoastronomy. Using information gathered from historical, archaeological, and ethnographical sources, Reinhard demonstrates how the site is situated in the center of sacred mountains and associated with a sacred river, which is in turn symbolically linked with the sun's passage. Taken together, these features meant that Machu Picchu formed a cosmological, hydrological, and sacred geological center for a vast region.
