Recenzii
A long-awaited, much-needed, up-to-date textbook for archaeological professionals. This comprehensive, well-organized compilation is a significant new resource for those in academia teaching the next generation of students, cultural resource management practitioners working with heritage stewards, or citizen scientists in this area of specialization.
A well-structured and detailed textbook that students, avocational and professionals alike can easily utilise and enjoy. With an aim to fill the gap between existing texts and popular culture publications, the authors should be commended for compiling a fresh, modern book that covers the intricacies and broad topics of our discipline. I highly recommend this as a reference book for anyone interested in maritime and underwater archaeology.
The authors have created a very significant output that will greatly aid those entering the field.... Although there have been dozens (or perhaps hundreds) of popular maritime archaeology books describing exciting discoveries of the discipline, there are really none that make the academic side of maritime archaeology as accessible to the beginner as Our Blue Planet.
This is a perfect vehicle for undergraduates looking for a thorough guide to the what, why and how of maritime archaeology. Current, knowledgeable and peppered with a creative set of iconic images, this book is a perfect launchpad for students' tentative first steps. It successfully demystifies the complexities about finding, surveying, excavating and interpreting prehistoric camps, wrecks and ports below and above the waterline.
