Book Description
For millennia, Pachamama, Mother Earth, has witnessed births, deaths, miracles and tragedies of all living creatures. This all changes when the evil spirit Kenaima begins to prey on the men of a village deep in the Amazon. The tribe’s chief is overtaken by Kenaima and attacks his family in a murderous rage, forcing his wife Entza to send her three living sons, Gryph, Rani and Marev, into the rainforest to seek safe haven. Pachamama suddenly finds her intentions and desires aligned with Entza’s, both of them desperate to protect the children from the growing danger and evil around them. Determined to survive, the brothers rely on their instincts and Rani’s mysterious connection to nature to endure the harsh realities of the rainforest. But Kenaima is hunting them, and bringing destruction to the village they left behind. Losing control in ways she never thought possible, Pachamama begins to intervene, though it may not be enough to save the children and Entza’s tribe.

Book Description
Acting on Faith deftly examines the role of religious discourse in processes of economic development by exploring a case study based on twelve months of intensive qualitative research examining the role of small, Catholic non-government organizations (NGOs) in indigenous communities in northwest Argentina. The difficulty facing the communities and their associated NGOs is how to create conditions that ameliorate poverty, without undermining cultural values.

Book Description
Around 400 BCE, inhabitants of the Southern Andes took up a sedentary lifestyle that included the practice of agriculture. Settlements were generally solitary or clustered structures with walled agricultural fields and animal corrals, and the first small villages appeared in some regions. Surprisingly, people were also producing and circulating exotic goods: polychrome ceramics, copper and gold ornaments, bronze bracelets and bells. To investigate the apparent contradiction between a lack of social complexity and the broad circulation of elaborated goods, archaeologist Joan Gero co-directed a binational project to excavate the site of Yutopian, an unusually well-preserved Early Formative village in the mountains of Northwest Argentina. In Yutopian, Gero describes how archaeologists from the United States and Argentina worked with local residents to uncover the lifeways of the earliest sedentary people of the region. Gero foregounds many experiential aspects of archaeological fieldwork that are usually omitted in the archaeological literature: the tedious labor and constraints of time and personnel, the emotional landscape, the intimate ethnographic settings and Andean people, the socio-politics, the difficult decisions and, especially, the role that ambiguity plays in determining archaeological meanings. Gero's unique approach offers a new model for the site report as she masterfully demonstrates how the decisions made in conducting any scientific undertaking play a fundamental role in shaping the knowledge produced in that project.
