Weidenfeld Nicolson Illustrated

Images of the Ice Age, here in its third edition, is the most complete study available of the world's earliest imagery, presenting a fascinating and up-to-date account of the art of our Ice Age ancestors. Authoritative and wide-ranging, it covers not only the magnificent cave art of famous sites such as Lascaux, Altamira, and Chauvet, but also other less well-known sites around the world, art discovered in the open air, and the thousands of incredible pieces of portable art in bone, antler, ivory, and stone produced in the same period. In doing so, the book summarizes all the major worldwide research into Ice Age art both past and present, exploring the controversial history of the art's discovery and acceptance, including the methods used for recording and dating, the faking of decorated objects and caves, and the wide range of theories that have been applied to this artistic corpus. Lavishly illustrated and highly accessible, Images of the Ice Age provides a visual feast and an absorbing synthesis of this crucial aspect of human history, offering a unique opportunity to appreciate universally important works of art, many of which can never be accessible to the public, and which represent the very earliest evidence of artistic expression.

Hazel Mary Martell

Kingfisher Books Ltd

Spectacular photographs are reinforced with rediscovered sketches and sprightly text in this magnificent exploration of 50 great archaeological discoveries in every part of the world. What separates this from previous collections is attention not only to architecture and artifacts but also to history, lifestyles, and how these cities functioned. Fourteen contributors lend their expertise to the narrations, photographs, and maps, re-creating not just the archaeological record, but the spirits of these cities and towns where flesh-and-blood people once lived and loved, worked and worshiped, staved off intruders and raised their families. Many cities are shown as they originally flourished, along with contemporary photographs. This is a lavish book covering a fascinating subject...a perfect gift, sure to be appreciated. 9" x 11". Color & b&w illus.

Beautiful coffee table book. This book has a little of everything. Beautiful artifacts from all over the world. It sparked my interest in reading more about the The tombs of Sipan in Northern Peru, North America artifacts and The Royal Treasures of Ur.
