Description
With the most diverse author team to date, the Fifth Edition brings new specialists, new research, and new perspectives to the field, connecting our present to the past in a more equitable and representative way. Careful reconsideration of each chapter's level of detail resulted in a book that is 13% briefer, but which remains a comprehensive authority on world prehistory, with each chapter written by leading experts on that region.
