Integrating the political and governmental histories of Spain and the American colonies, this book focuses on the political and governmental history of the Viceroyalty of Peru during the 'early Bourbon' period and provides a new interpretation of the period's broader significance within Spanish American history.

The modern world began with the clash of civilisations between Spaniards and native Americans. Their interplay and struggles ever since are mirrored in the fates of the very languages they spoke. The conquistadors wrought theirs into a new 'world language'; yet the Andes still host the New World's greatest linguistic survivor, Quechua. Historians and linguists see this through different - but complementary - perspectives. This book is a meeting of minds, long overdue, to weave them together. It ranges from Inca collapse to the impacts of colonial rule, reform, independence, and the modern-day trends that so threaten native language here with its ultimate demise.

This book is about my grandfather's (A.A. Brierly) involvement in Owens Valley land sales to Los Angeles during the early 1900's. He was born in Bishop, CA in 1884 and lived his entire life there. He worked 65 years for Inyo County (1905-1970) and was significantly involved with issues regarding land managment in Inyo County. This book is much different that others written on the subject of Los Angeles and the Owens Valley as this is a first hand account from someone who was there, not revisionist history. I hope you enjoy my book.
