Treacy was one of the investigators of the remarkable (and massive) Colca valley agricultural terrace system in the 1980s and 90s, along with University of Wisconsin's William Denevan, Beloit College's Dan Shea, et al. Coporaque is a small but important part of that system. We personally inspect every book we offer. Seller Inventory # 230503005
