5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Follow up on Garlake's work, September 26, 2008

This review is from: The Hunter's Vision: The Prehistoric Art of Zimbabwe (Hardcover)
This book is a great culmination to much of Garlake's classic books, which adds a great deal to his work. He has done the hard work of gathering "specimens" of rock art across southern Africa, preserving or recording them, conducting related archeology, toughing through political censorship, etc. Where he hinted before at the possible meanings of cryptic art, he now fleshes out some very credible theories. I find them fairly convincing, if not compelling. Highly recommended to anyone interested. Completely accessible to the lay reader, and with lots of pictures. I also recommend various books on similar topics by J.D. Lewis-Williams, and if you like him, you'll love this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful photographs, excellent tracings, March 17, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hunter's Vision: The Prehistoric Art of Zimbabwe (Hardcover)
Tons of beautiful tracings of prehistoric art and some beautiful photographs. The tracings are just as exciting as the photographs. I've barely glanced at the text, but it's an art book - who reads em?
