Book Review

Many people merely dream of traveling around the world. This highly unusual man acts on his dreams. Every time he starts to wonder about an interesting place he has not been, he simply packs his bags, grabs a camera and goes to the airport to claim his seat. Soon he is in Brazil, China, Africa or anywhere there are people to meet, things to see and do, like taking pictures, buying art, shaking hands, asking questions and being entertained by professional guides and story tellers. “Hello, how are you, good to meet you. I’m Leon Freeman from Memphis, Tennessee.” I found his introduction by a tribesman in Papua New Guinea as a cousin the most striking story of them all.

Mr. Freeman retired from his school teaching career and immediately set out to explore the world. Over the years he visited five continents, sixty-two countries and a string of islands ringing the globe like pearls. He discovered one satisfying fundamental fact: in human essence, we are all one. Whatever differences there might be in our outer physical appearance or our diverse cultural extensions, there are no qualitative differences to the principle: ‘all human babies are created equal.’

In this picture book, Mr. Freeman provides the viewer with unforgettable, vicarious experiences to enjoy time and time again for many years to come.

No other ruin evokes so powerfully the grandeur and mystery of a forgotten civilization as Machu Picchu. Since its existence was first publicized in 1911 by the American explorer Hiram Bingham, this World Heritage site has become the embodiment of a “lost city”—although nearly half a million people find their way there every year. Until now, no survey of the site, history of its archaeological exploration, and assessment of the city’s meaning have been brought together in one authoritative and portable volume.

In the centenary of this enigmatic site’s “rediscovery,” David Drew offers an up-to-date guide to the ruins, in all their complexity. His vivid account includes the story of Hiram Bingham’s expeditions and a judicious appraisal of their achievements and failings. He examines the latest theories on the purpose and functioning of the city and the circumstances of its abandonment, and he explores the powerful symbolic significance the site has acquired since its discovery for different groups of people. Drew also looks dispassionately at how the fabric of the city has fared over the last century and the dangers to the region’s environment that its immense popularity now presents. A final chapter covers the controversy over the future of items removed by Bingham from Machu Picchu, which currently reside in Yale University’s Peabody Museum.

Much more than a guidebook, Machu Picchu enables readers to appreciate the magic and multiple meanings of perhaps the most romantic ruin in the world.

Machu Picchu trips make for lifetime memories for many of those tourists who go there. This location has become more popular than ever since it was named as a wonder of the world. When one visits this site, it is easy to get a feel for how life was 500 years ago in Peru.
