QUOTES
"The single best overview of the archaeological record of our species to be found under one cover . . . the text is authoritative, up-to-date, and comprehensive, and extremely well illustrated. The on-line supporting materials, specifically the chapter summaries, practice quizzes, and flash cards are a great complement to the text . . . I hope to be using this volume for many years and editions to come." —David G.
Anderson, The University of Tennessee "The best textbook for World Prehistory classes because the text is extensive and each geographical section is taken up by experts in that part of the world. Each chapter is challenging but this gives students the opportunity to expand their knowledge of world prehistory without sacrificing any of the most interesting details." —Lisa
Anselmi, Buffalo State College "What an accomplishment this book is! Each chapter provides an incisive, up-to-date summary of its subject that will remain an authoritative source for years to come. A seamless story of human life and culture over the last three million years." —Richard A.
Diehl, University of Alabama "A brilliant synthesis and the best single account of the state of archaeological knowledge about the substance of our past. It is a landmark for its breadth and depth of scholarship and will be useful as one of those texts that people keep long after they read it for their reference collections. It is an excellent choice for world prehistory and introduction to archaeology courses." —Ezra
Zubrow,
University of Buffalo, The State University of New York |
