Book Overview

""The Andes of Southern Peru: Geographical Reconnaissance Along the Seventy-Third Meridian"" is a book written by Isaiah Bowman, an American geographer and explorer. The book is a detailed account of Bowman's expedition to the southern Peruvian Andes in 1911-1912, during which he conducted a geographical survey along the 73rd meridian. The book includes descriptions of the geography, geology, climate, flora, and fauna of the region, as well as the customs, culture, and history of the indigenous people living there.
