Wright, a civil engineer, and Zegarra, the resident archaeologist at Machu Picchu, write for armchair travelers and tourists as well as for their professional colleagues.

They look at such features as hydrology, agriculture, building foundations and stone walls, construction methods, and the cultural background. They also map out a walking tour for civil engineers. The many photographs are monochrome. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
