The Snake with Golden Braids: Society, Nature, and Technology in Andean Irrigation

by Stephen G. Bunker

No Customer Reviews

The Snake With Golden Braids seeks to understand how local inhabitants of the extraordinarily rugged Andean topography of Huanoquite, Peru came to understand their landscape and then build and maintain a system of irrigation ditches across it. Stephen G. Bunker combines a history of these systems with a rethinking of the local myths, legends, and environment to help make sense of the land and its uses.
