Book Reviews of Ancient Mysteries
Book Review: A great book for newcomers to archeology
Summary: 5 Stars
I had bought this book a while ago but not had time to sit down to read it. I am glad I finally did. It is a very well-documented and carefully balanced examination of many issues in archeology. As a non-expert, I found the treatment and the language very user-friendly, unlike other books where authors use terms without defining them. I have learned much from this book and really appreciate the authors' combined expertise and balanced approach. I know some reviewers have found errors or omissions but these are minimal when balanced against the gains to a novice reader. It's a great book to read straight through, or to dip into by chapter or topic. This is due to the excellent internal referencing by the authors to related chapters and themes.
