Ebook: Rethinking the Andes Amazonia divide. A cross-disciplinary exploration

The Andean highlands and Amazonian rainforest run cheek-by-jowl for thousands of miles through South America. Popular perception, at least, would have the Andes as a cradle of civilization, set against Amazonia, where even the Incas
feared to tread. But is the ‘divide’ between them a self-evident, intrinsic definition
of opposing Andean and Amazonian worlds – or a simplistic parody?
