Book Review: Markawasi: Peru's Inexplicable Stone Forest.By Mari Conea-Rosenfeld, PhDI am always delighted to read a book that brings me joy and educates me, leaving me on a greater note of happiness, and often questioning conventional knowledge. The readers who choose to journey through Kathy Doore's Markawasi will be absorbed by her tremendous ability to ascertain truths and speak frankly about her observations, and at the same time, include other views that may disagree with hers.Dr. Robert M. Schoch brilliantly introduces Markawasi, conveying the site's innermost qualities, as well as its geological and historical significance, while blessing it with its own soul. He draws the reader in, and compels a desire to view this most spectacular destination in an intimate way.Daniel Ruzo's work and theory concerning Markawasi are carefully presented by Ms. Doore, including the myths and legends that surround it. Kathy proceeds to take ownership of the place, and with soft, tender words that also inform, made me long to return to Markawasi with her.Through Doore's systematic direction, Markawasi not only reveals her insights on the mesa, but that of her contributors', and we are the beneficiaries of their knowledge. Lisa Rome takes us on a "fantastic discovery"--a journey that is as enriching and controversial as Ruzo's theories on the mesa, when he presented them in the 1950s. Javier Ruzo, in his contribution, "Expression of the Sacred Earth", aids the reader in gaining an improved understanding of the place and the peoples that might have inhabited it. They possessed "the ancient custom of transmitting information by way of stone and the management of sacred space, recognized precession and the use of solstice markers to specify their rites of passage." The significance of the various anthropomorphic figures is thoroughly examined in succeeding chapters.One does not need to be a philosopher, professing intelligent, spiritual techniques to enjoy the beauty of the landscape and the secrets that the mesa conceals in its monumental carvings. Kathy Doore, as a spiritual guide, thoughtfully and creatively writes of an ancient way of life and beliefs grounded in the enchantment and beauty of Markawasi, a most sacred place.
In this guidebook to Markawasi in Peru, Kathy Doore's passion to reveal the mysteries of this ancient site, and its significance to humanity, emanates from each description and piece of history detailed in the book.The stone monuments are beautifully captured in photographs and illustrations, taking the reader on a mini tour of the mesa, all the while sparking the imagination. At the end of the book are personal stories of visits to this incredible site that bring the mystery of Markawasi to life. The firsthand experiences they share speak of life-changing encounters in what Kathy Doore describes as "our extraordinary journey of remembrance".This book has succeeded in igniting the flame within me to experience Markawasi for myself.
In this stunning book Kathy Doore has put together a gift fit for everyone. If your interest is photography, graphics, sculpture, painting,anthropology, history, mysticism, story telling, South America, Peru,geology, Hiking, traveling or book collecting, I am sure that you will love this book. There's even a travel guide on how to get to this far-out sculpture garden up in the Andes. It's one of the coolest and hippest books I've seen in a long time. The reading material is super interesting. If you prefer you can just flip through the pages full of awesome pictures and beautiful illustrations. I highly recommend it.
"Markawasi: Peru's Inexplicable Stone Forest" by Kathy Doore is an impressive compendium of more than four hundred full-color and informatively captioned photographs, illustrations and maps showcasing the 'sacred mountain' country of Peru. This unique photo guidebook is more than just a collection of interesting images as the author has arranged for an engaging and informative two-page Foreword by Peter E. Schneider, followed by an extended Preface, an Introduction, and historical background to Peru's Markawasi Stone Forest complete with a map and hiking routes. The rest of this elegant 176-page coffee table book is devoted to 'Temples of Light and Shadow' (showcasing specific elements of interest); then 'Superbatolite Circompacifigue'; 'Faces & Sculptures'; 'Sons of the Ray'; 'Fiesta del Agua'; 'How to Go!' (with festivals, village life and outfitting for the mesa); 'Nature's Gift' (medicinal plants of the mesa); and 'Voices of the Mesa'. Of special note is the bibliographic list of suggested reading for further study. Perfect as a preparational reading for onsite visitors and an ideal browse for armchair travelers with an interest in something 'off the beaten path', this superbly written, organized and presented compendium is very highly recommended for personal, academic, and community library collections.
This book is a gift to all who venture into the mystic. A chance for those of us who have not walked among one of the most amazing places I have ever heard of. The book takes you there with visuals not only in picture form but with Kathy's powerful gift of guidance and knowledge of this most sacred place with pen and ink. It is surely one of those places that should be placed on everyones list of places to see.
