The Andes of Southern Peru

"The Andes of Southern Peru: Geographical Reconnaissance along the Seventy-Third Meridian" by Isaiah Bowman

As a geographer, Bowman used his expertise to write a comprehensive and educational text about the Andes. Written at a time when little was known about this mountain range by the general public, Bowman's work brought this exotic region to the masses. This book is still used as a reference text for those wishing to learn more about the area.
