Demographic Collapse: Indian Peru, 1520-1620 (Cambridge Latin American Studies)

Professor Cook estimates population size on the basis of archaeology, carrying capacity of the agricultural systems, disease mortality, depopulation ratios, and census projection. He also analyses the catastrophic population decline that resulted from contact with Europeans, and compares this experience with that of the coastal region and the Andean highlands.Noble David Cook is the author of 'Demographic Collapse: Indian Peru, 1520-1620 (Cambridge Latin American Studies)', published 1982 under ISBN 9780521239950 and ISBN 0521239958.
