4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book, not for everyone.,
By Rob111111 "Rob111111" (Ohio, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Time Trees & Prehistory (Hardcover)
Being interested in Dendrochronolgy I found this book extremely informative and fascinating. It is certainly a must have if you are interested in Archaeology as well, especially in the southwestern United States. I love the fact that this book is available and that this material is accessible.
That being said, I did have some trouble finishing it, simply because the story tends to get bogged down in the details. This really is two books in one, the author seems to be attempting to tell the story at the same time he is trying to give as much information as possible. It is a valiant effort but in my opinion doesn't do full justice on either part and you end up with almost, but not quite, enough technical info and a story that is almost, but not quite, a real page turning academic drama. Aside from the aforementioned caution, I still highly recommend this book. If you are interested in the field this is a book you need to have! If you are just browsing for a casual light read and unfamiliar with this topic or southwestern archaeology in general, you may want to move on to something a little less involved. |
