Human Prehistory

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Barsky's groundbreaking book is of enormous importance to researchers in a wide range of disciplines who are concerned with the impact of technology, for good and for ill, on human bio-cultural evolution. The book is a major contribution to our understanding of this evolution and its implications for the 'progressive divorce from nature' that our cultural and technological development has entailed.' Paul J. Thibault, professor in linguistics and communication studies, University of Agder, Kristiansand, Norway 'Hitherto, not since Gordon Childe's Man Makes Himself (1951 (1936)) has a book on prehistory and archaeology highlighted its author's concerns about those contemporary environmental and societal concerns that colour debates over the forseeable future that upcoming generations will inherit. Those generations deserve this book.' M. Walker, Antiquity 'Human Prehistory: Exploring the Past to Understand the Future, is a testament to the fundamental importance of the past.' Brad Lepper, The Columbus Dispatch 'Deborah Barsky's book is a valiant, welcome attempt to stimulate the general public to take an interest in prehistory.' Michael J. Walker, Antiquity
