1995, hardcover edition, British Museum Press, London, U.K., 176 pages. 36 color plates, 185 b&w illustrations. This title discusses the rock paintings of Zimbabwe, how the subjects were selected, how the paintings were made, and what the conventions were at the time that determined their styles and forms. These paintings are thousands of years old and the author places them in the context of their creators. The superb color photos are published here for the first time. The author, by the way, is an archaeologist who specializes in Africa.

Excellent Follow up on Garlake's work

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 26, 2008

Verified Purchase

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.

Excellent book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 20, 2013

Verified Purchase

Very comprehensive history of cave art in Zimbabwe with a number of excellent photographs. Would wholeheartedly recommend it. This was a new copy and very cheap.Feel sorry for the author who must have received very little for all his hard work, with such a low cover price.
