Christopher Heaney, Cradle of Cold: The Story of Hiram Bingham, a Real-life Indiana Jones, and the Search for Machu Picchu

In this book the biographical focus is on Hiram Bingham (1875-1956) whose wanderlust drove him to South America at a time when roads and railways had just started to penetrate its interior.
