Spell of the Urubambaanthropogeographical essays on an Andean valley in space and time /[electronic resource] :by Daniel W. Gade. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2016. - xv, 354 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Preface -- The Urubamba Valley in Panoptic Perspective -- Urubamba Travelers as Generators of Knowledge -- Urubamba Verticality: Reflections on Crops and Diseases -- The Sacred Valley as a Zone of Productivity, Privilege and Power -- Vilca in Andean Culture History: Psychotropic Associations in Urubamba and Beyond -- Mysterious Ucumari: The Andean Bear in Nature and Culture -- Urubamba Ramble: Hiram Bingham's Artful Encounter with Machu Picchu -- Vilcabamba: Fabled Redoubt of the Urubamba Region -- Highland and Lowland Peoples in Contact in the Tropical Urubamba -- Conclusion: The Spell is Cast -- Notes -- Glossary -- Index.

This new book focuses on the Urubamba Valley of Peru, which spans 4000 meters of altitude mostly in the Department of Cusco. More than one million visitors a year come to the Urubamba, especially to experience Machu Picchu, which overlooks the valley floor. The book, based on over 50 years of research and field work, represents an impressive accumulation of regional knowledge and testifies to how a long scholarly commitment can lead to a deep understanding of place, that probes the present and past, human and non-human, common and uncommon.
