First, this isn't as bad as most Jesse Harasta productions. He stayed with the topic and didn't give readers lessons in linguistics. The geoglyphs of Peru are large carvings viewable from the air (not on grown-level).

This book tells why it was possible to create the geoglyphs in ancient times and why they are still there. Although no one knows why the geoglyphs were created for sure, the archaeologists working on theories share their expertise.

Finally, the author explains how preservation is working, how tourism is affecting things and the fact that UNESCO declared Nazca Lines as a World Heritage site in 1994.
