PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
R. Alan Covey is a professor of anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin, and a research associate at the American Museum of Natural History.
Inca Apocalypse is an outstanding overview of the fall of the Inca Empire written by a world class scholar. --Brian S. Bauer, University of Illinois at Chicago Inca Apocalypse is a magnificent book. Alan Covey draws on his own archaeological fieldwork to portray the rapid hegemony of the Inca Empire, stressing the role of powerful women. He then deploys massive research to give a detailed narrative of Pizarro's expeditions and conquest, decades of civil wars between the unscrupulous victors, and the Spanish Crown's and Catholic Church's strategies to control the Andean realm and its subject peoples. --John Hemming, author of The Conquest of the Incas Alan Covey has transformed the image of the Spanish occupation of the vast scattered domains of the Inca Empire, from a simple triumph of European technologies (and diseases), into a prolonged, and multi-faceted series of conquests that were not only military but also political, ecological, and, above all, religious. His book could well help to provide a model for a more nuanced account of European conquests in other parts of the globe. --Anthony Pagden, author of The Burdens of Empire: 1539 to the Present
