 Free Download Lost Ancient Technology Of Peru And Bolivia By Brien Foerster 2013 | 237 Pages | ISBN: 1492348023 | EPUB | 15 MB Ancient Peru and Bolivia, like Egypt, contain enigmas and mysteries, especially in stone which most conventional scholarship can`t explain. Rather than simply being the exclusively the works of cultures such as the Inca, there are many megalithic wonders which defy both the conventional time lines and known levels of technology attributed to the ancient people of South America. The most glaring example is most likely Puma Punku, near the shore of Lake Titicaca in Bolivia, which hints at not only being several thousand years old, but also seems to have been achieved using what we would call high level machine technology.There are also many sites in Peru, and especially near the city of Cusco that also show the hall marks of having been made by cultures using technology supposedly not known by cultures such as the Inca.A massive collection of photographic and and detailed analysis is contained in this book, as well as on site observations by leading engineers, such as Christopher Dunn, author of the Giza Power Plant, and acclaimed author and engineer Arlan Andrews.

Scott English | October 15, 2009 | ISBN: 0268041318 | True PDF | 272 pages | 3.8 MB Landscape is never static, but changes continuously when seen in relation to human occupation, movement, labor, and discourse. Contested Territory explores the ways in which Peru's early colonial landscapes were experienced and portrayed, especially by the Spanish conquerors but also by their conquered subjects. It focuses on the role played by indigenous groups in shaping the Spanish experiences of landscapes, the diverse geographical images of Peru and ways in which these were constructed and contested, and what this can tell us about the nature of colonial relations in post-conquest Peru.  Free Download Peter F. Klarén, "Historical Dictionary of Peru" English | 2017 | ISBN: 1538106671 | PDF | pages: 494 | 4.4 mb With 10,000 years of history, Peru, with its formidable Inca and pre-Inca civilizations and its rich colonial and post-colonial past, formed the very foundations of multi-ethnic South American history and society. It is a country rich in natural and human resources, but has been largely confined to a state of underdevelopment for much of its history. However, since 2000 Peru has shown significant signs of economic and political progress as its economy grew rapidly and it polity democratized. The Historical Dictionary of Peru packages in a unique way the course of Peru's evolution and recent trajectory, with substantial sections devoted to describing and analyzing the country's history, politics and social order, combined with shorter entries on the important people and events that have contributed to its current state of affairs. It also includes a comprehensive profile of the country based on an array of data, tables and statistics. In short, PERU will be an indispensable introduction and source for high school, college and graduate students, travelers and tourists and American government and business personnel with Peru as a destination.  Free Download John Crabtree, "Peru: Elite Power and Political Capture" English | ISBN: 1783609044 | 2017 | 256 pages | PDF | 2 MB While leftist governments have been elected across Latin America, this 'Pink Tide' has so far failed to reach Peru. Instead, the corporate elite remains firmly entrenched, and the left continues to be marginalised. Peru therefore represents a particularly stark example of 'state capture', in which an extreme concentration of wealth in the hands of a few corporations and pro-market technocrats has resulted in a monopoly on political power.

Osorio 2008 | 272 Pages | ISBN: 140397604X | PDF | 3 MB Inventing Lima is the first synthetic cultural history of Peru's baroque "City of the Kings." Professor Osorio's interpretation of ritual life in the Peruvian metropolis significantly revises our understanding of the colonial history of Latin America. Osorio argues that Lima was a baroque "border city" that linked the South Sea with the Andes. As the "Head city" of the Viceroyalty of Peru, Lima came to govern and represent a vast and rich domain within Spain's worldwide empire. This meticulously documented and theoretically informed study is must reading for all those interested in the modern history of cities and empires.
 A New Social Contract for Peru: An Agenda for Improving Education, Health Care, and the Social Safety Net By Daniel Cotlear 2006 | 303 Pages | ISBN: 0821365673 | PDF | 3 MB This book examines the issues of accountability in the delivery of public services. Each chapter of the book incorporates, in addition to technical, economic, and statistical analysis, an analysis of the institutional context for service delivery. A common theme that cuts across this book is the issue of accountability as developed by the World Bank in its 'World Development Report: Making Services Work for Poor People' (2004). The main conclusion of the book is that, while Peru has made significant progress in both education and health care, there remain significant challenges to achieving greater equity and better quality of services, particularly for the poor. The book finds that Peru has achieved high levels of coverage in all levels of education and in some programs of basic health care and of social assistance. Still, the average quality of most of these programs is low, and health and education outcomes are extremely inequitable. The book recommends three types of interventions: a. quality standards and quantitative goals need to be set, b. accountability chains need to be established so that providers take responsibility for their services; and c. investments are needed to create and sustain the capacity to reach these goals. |
