Description

Explore the technical secrets of the Lost City of the Incas with Machu Picchu: A Civil Engineering Marvel. Published by the American Society of Civil Engineers, this book offers a unique look at how Early Native Americans built a massive city on a high mountain site in the Andes. Instead of just looking at the ruins, authors Kenneth R. Wright and Alfredo Valencia Zegarra explain the engineering behind the structures. Learn how this ancient civilization managed to create working running water, effective drainage systems, and methods for food production on difficult terrain. This book provides a perspective on the advanced stone structures that have remained standing for over 500 years. It is an ideal read for anyone interested in architecture, history, or the technical skill required to build in extreme environments.
