The Monumental Andes - Geology, Geography and Ancient Cultures in the Peruvian Andes

When geologist Roseanne Chambers made her first visit to Machu Picchu in 2006, it sparked a deep fascination with the geology and culture of the Peruvian Andes. While there, she couldn’t find a book that traced the geologic history of that landscape and how this history shaped ancient Andean societies, so she decided to write that book herself.
