Jacket is lightly worn, rubbed with a vague pressure crease on the front panel, short tear front bottom corner. Now in clear cover. "Beyond the Andes is both an exciting personal adventure story and an account of discoveries about the origins of civilization in the Western hemisphere. Working almost entirely on his own Pino Turolla set out in repeated expeditions to South America over a period of twelve years. Wherever he went, Turolla discovered hundreds of artifacts and evidence - including proof of very early use of maize by ancient man. Scientific dating of important finds is included in this fascinating book." From the New York Times: "Pino Turolla, an explorer, writer, broadcast journalist, and inventor, died of a heart attack Friday, September 19, 1984. He was 62 years old. Mr. Turolla had been engaged in the medical research of substances he had brought back from the Amazon River forests; they are being studied for possible anticancer properties. He also invented the Turolla Control-Descent Parachute used by the United States Government."
