5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent and beautiful book
This is a wonderful addition to any library, especially one where children frequent. It is scholarly but readable and filled with well done pictures. It is one I gave my grandsons on rainy days and as preteens they have enjoyed and understood. Pat Gibson

A new stone age coffee table book?
The use of stone tools in the early transition from hunting and gathering to farming is shown as archaeological evidence. We have very little written evidence from this kind of culture except for the Egyptians, Mayans and Incas, but we have massive stone monuments and graves that these people left.

A new stone age coffee table book?,
By R. Bagula "Roger L. Bagula" (Lakeside, Ca United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: People of the Stone Age: Hunter-Gatherers and Early Farmers (Illustrated History of Humankind, Vol. 2) (Hardcover)
The use of stone tools in the early transition from hunting and gathering to farming is shown as archaeological evidence.We have very little written evidence from this kind of culture except for the Egyptians, Mayans and Incas, but we have massive stone monuments and graves that these people left. The full color pictures and maps in this book are good. I enjoyed most of it, but it kind of left one with a decaying feeling of dead people and a fatal feeling of a doom that wasn't there. Progress in this age was slow but steady, but these people made deserts that remain today by cutting down all the trees for their use? Like termites in a wooden house, mankind has been to his planet. |
