The Cord Keepers: Khipus and Cultural Life in a Peruvian Village Hardcover - 2004
by Frank L. Salomon
From the rear cover
"Strokes of good fortune brought Frank Salomon to villages and archives with extraordinary potential for research. Imagination, erudition, and perseverance permitted him to retrieve insights of great importance from these sources. The world seems subtly yet significantly different after reading "The Cord Keepers," since Salomon convinces his readers that the human capacities to record meanings and to transmit cultural forms are deeper and broader than they had thought."--Benjamin Orlove, author of "Lines in the Water: Nature and Culture at Lake Titicaca"
