This work examines the valley of the Urubamba River in terms of
vertical zonation, Incan impact on the environment, plant use, the
history of exploration and the notion of discovery, the idea of
land reform, and cultural contact with the European world. Winding
its path northward from the Andean Highlands to the Amazon, the
valley has served as the stage of pre-Columbian civilizations and
focal point of Spanish conquest in Peru. "Gade left behind not only
a superb body of scholarly work, but a network of colleagues and
students who remain indebted to his example. This book should serve
as an inspiration for all scholars who wish to pursue the Sauerian,
counter enlightenment or post development agendas of understanding
and respecting particular places in all their historical and
cultural complexity, including ambiguities and contradictions." --
The Geographical Review, American Geographical Society
