THE LAST DAYS OF THE INCAS (2012)
Drawing on both native and Spanish chronicles, Kim MacQuarrie tells the dramatic story of the Spanish conquest, with all its savagery and suspense. From the arrival of Francisco Pizarro in 1532 – who with a company of 167 men brutally defeated the Inca emperor Atahualpa and eighty thousand of his warriors at the Battle of Cajamarca – to the massive rebellion led by Atahualpa’s brother, the young emperor Manco Inca, The Last Days of the Incas recounts a deadly guerrilla war that lasted 36 years.
Kim MacQuarrie vividly recreates the search for the lost capital of Vilcabamba, Manco Inca’s hideout, and its recent discovery along with Machu Picchu in Southeastern Peru. A fascinating historical account and a modern-day adventure tale, The Last Days of the Incas brings one of the greatest stories in the world back to life.

CUSCO AMAZÓNICO (1991)
The rainforest in the Southwestern part of the Amazon Basin, in Southeastern Peru are home to scores of amphibians and reptiles. Cusco Amazónico: The Lives of Amphibians and Reptiles in an Amazonian Rainforest is a richly illustrated and comprehensive account of the lives of 151 of these species. William E. Duellman’s masterpiece of community ecology includes descriptions of the physical environment and vegetation found in this unique habitat along with syntheses of abundance, mass, feeding, reproductive guilds, and daily and seasonal patterns of activity.
Duellman’s book has become a standard reference for herpetologists, tropical biologists, biogeographers, ecologists, and conservationists and stands on its own as a portrait of an animal community in a unique bioregion. According to Cornell University, Cusco Amazónico is “the baseline against which all future studies of Amazonian amphibians and reptiles (and even other organisms) will be compared.”
