“Andes r educe human beings to insignificance, tiny spots on a picture scaled for far more imposing centers of interest…And yet this land, one of the handful of places in the world where people have developed great civilizations, is also of particular interest because of how men and women have turned its characteristics to their advantage” Spalding 9.
