This book provides a detailed account of the Inca Empire, describing its history, society, economy, religion and politics, but most importantly the way it was managed. It offers a sophisticated new interpretation of Inca power politics and especially the role of religion in shaping an imperial world of great ethnic, social and cultural diversity.

This book is an exploration of 3000 years of Tiwanakan history, from the first appearance of their settlement around the shores of Lake Titicaca to their contemporary descendants in the Andes. The author draws on archaeological evidence throughout the region, supplementing this with what can be drawn from later recorded myths and legends.
