For the University of Denver Water Law Review, Vol. 6, Issue 1, Fall 2002 Coloradans Ken and Ruth Wright have teamed with Peruvian archeologist Alfredo Valencia to place back in working order the sixteen fountains of Machu Picchu. You can see for yourself. The Inca were master water handlers. They chose Machu Picchu as a ceremonial center because the mountains and the river spoke to them of life-giving power. The Urubamba River far below snakes triangular around the base of Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu mountains. A saddle between these peaks cradles the temples, rock shrines, dwelling places, and agricultural terraces that dance between the clouds in early morning and emerge to sunlight by Noon.

Having read the earlier two reviews of this book I was disappointed with what I found. The earlier reviewers had access either to a 'draft manuscript' (Gregory Hobbs), or an 'advance copy' (Sally Kribs), so presumably they have some connection with the author/publisher, which I suspect (intentionally or not) may have influenced their opinion of this work, and perhaps explains the difference in ratings. The first thing that struck me is that whilst this book boasts alot of photographs not many of them are especially good, either in their composition (often amateurish) or quality. Almost all are in black and white. Some of the photos are so dark as to be almost black with all detail lost do to the photographer not compensating for lighting conditions. Some features which are especially noted ... Read More
