Scale and the Incas

"This landmark study reveals a critical and previously unaddressed aspect of ancient Andean art. For readers in the field, this is a definitively important work, full of innovative ways of looking at and thinking about Inca art. For those interested in the theoretical aspects of scale, the book will delight with newfound understandings."--Joanne Pillsbury, Metropolitan Museum of Art

"This highly original book explores the role of scale in Inca material culture, the built environment, and worldviews more generally. Filled with extraordinary and beautiful illustrations, this is a book about really small things and very, very big ideas."--Carolyn Dean, author of A Culture of Stone
