Recenzii
'Origins and Revolutions is an effervescent read that skilfully challenges many of the sacred cows of archaeology. it is rich and deep in the philosophical acumen and attention to social theory for which Gamble is known. He also writes with an admirable sense of humour and irony; he knows how to join humanistic flair with empirical rigour at the dig.' Nature
'… an engaging style, and a healthy lacing of humour … Origins and Revolutions is well worth the effort. It displays considerable erudition and theoretical subtlety, challenges orthodox histories of our deep past, and sets out an agenda for thinking about the fragmentary remains of the remote societies of early prehistory in new and refreshing ways.' British Archaeology
'… Gamble has written a book that deserves serious attention and engagement, and hi sideas are original and far-reaching …' Journal of Archaeological Science
'Clive Gamble's Origins and Revolutions enters new, virtually unexplored territory in the field of what may be termed cognitive archaeology: the archaeology of mind. And it makes a contribution because it tries deliberately to look at the early phases in human cognitive development, during the Palaeolithic period, in new ways. … Gamble writes well about 'material metaphors' in a way which appreciates this decisive role in the creation of new social worlds. … Gamble's approach is to undertake a thoroughgoing examination of the notion of personal identity, during what he terms the 'long introduction' to modernity, up to 100,000 years ago. … What I like about these chapters … is his series of detailed examples, drawn mainly from the Palaeolithic of Europe. … There are many good and unfamiliar ideas here … For the moment, he has given us a pioneering work in the cognitive archaeology of the Palaeolithic period. It is a major step forward and it offers many challenges.' Cambridge Archaeological Journal
'… dense with provocative ideas, fresh points of view, an intellectual background that ranges far and wide between academic disciplines and schools of thought … this book should be read by professionals and graduate students as an eye-opener to alternative narratives of human evolution … an intriguing book …' Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
