Encyclopedia of Latin American History and Culture
A 5-volume set spans the centuries from the earliest civilizations of the Olmec, Maya, and Chavin to the present day. The region is broadly defined to include South America, Central America, Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, and the historical Spanish borderlands north of the Rio Grande that are now part of the United States. The set emphasizes political, economic, and social history, yet does not overlook those elements of material and popular culture that have affected the history of Latin America.

The Sacred Valley of the Incas: Myths and Symbols
Fernando and Edgar Elorrieta Salazar introduce the world to a new and profound view of Andean myths that they have been able to decode and convert into history and reality through a study of semiotics, aesthetics and archaeoastronomy. Cultural myths function as a way of conceptualizing and organizing something held in common by a group of people. Its connotation is ideological and serves to cause one to believe that this "something", whether it be shared values, attitudes or beliefs, is natural, normal, of common sense and may even be true. The Andean myths contain sacred history and material testimony that reflect current events. - Publisher
