Book Description
In AD 1438 a battle took place outside the city of Cuzco that changed the course of South American history. The Chanka, a powerful ethnic group from the Andahuaylas region, had begun an aggressive program of expansion. Conquering a host of smaller polities, their army had advanced well inside the territory of their traditional rival, the Inca. In a series of unusual maneuvers, the Inca defeated the invading Chanka forces and became the most powerful people in the Andes. Many scholars believe that the defeat of the Chanka represents a defining moment in the history of South America as the Inca then continued to expand and establish the largest empire of the Americas. Despite its critical position in South American history, until recently the Chanka heartland remained unexplored and the cultural processes that led to their rapid development and subsequent defeat by the Inca had not been investigated. From 2001 to 2004, Brian Bauer conducted an archaeological survey of the Andahuaylas region. This project represents an unparalleled opportunity to examine theoretical issues concerning the history and cultural development of late-prehistoric societies in this area of the Andes. The resulting book includes an archaeological analysis on the development of the Chanka and examines their ultimate defeat by the Inca.

Book Description
My novel, Intrigue and Resolution, includes all the elements of drama and suspense and will titillate the imagination of your readers. Within the pages of my novel are dramatic events and the romantic episodes of two brothers on their journey through life; all within the framework of murder, adventure, and the exploration of Alaska, including the battle for the island of Attu, the second most-bloodiest battle in the Pacific Theater of Operation during World War II, the politics of postwar America, and debates on the most contentious issues of our time: abortion, global warming, gay marriage, and the right to vote. I have published two novels and an autobiography: Vengeance, Electra, and The Life and Times of Albert Capo.
