An urgently needed analysis of the city leading up to the Spanish conquest. . . . Those who study statecraft, urbanism, or New World cultures will benefit immensely from the extraordinary lengths to which Farrington has gone. --Journal of Anthropological Research The first comprehensive scholarly text that uses archaeological data and historical descriptions to analyze the making, development, and urban life of Cuzco [sic] during the Inca period. --Hispanic American Historical Review No other book has focused so extensively on the oldest existing city in the Americas, and it fills a significant void in the study of pre-Hispanic urbanism. A magnificent accomplishment and model for other ancient urban studies. Essential. --Choice
