Central and South America

By Evan Hadingham. 1988, University of Oklahoma Press, 307pp, photos throughout. "A fascinating, well-organized, highly readable book that presents a comprehensive picture of the Nazca lines and their interpretation. Even Hadingham has skillfully placed the lines in the overall context of the ancient Peruvian society. The book brings into focus the research of many ethnologists and archaeologists working in Peru, and will go a long way toward dispelling many of the misconceptions and myths about the lines and their makers."
