Recenzii
A scintillating tour de force from probably the greatest scholar of European archaeology.
Cunliffe writes in an uncluttered style and with a seemingly effortless authority about a complex people ... The book is beautifully produced with plenty of colour illustrations, including excellent maps of unfamiliar places. It will surely become the standard introduction to a remarkable lost world.
Not to be missed.
Cunliffe masterfully blends archaeology, anthropology, and visual and written evidence with dazzling images, delightful stories, and clear writing.
