Alec Campbell's African Rock Art: Paintings And Engravings On Stone, superbly and profusely illustrated with more than two hundred examples of David Coulson's color photography, spectacularly and informatively showcases Africa's rock art with examples drawn from the entire continent. The text provides the reader with an authoritative and "reader friendly" historical and interpretative analysis. Alec Campbell draws upon his many years of experience as the founder and former director of the "National Museum of Botswana", and is a resident of the area. David Coulson is founder and chairman of the "Trust for African Rock Art" and combines his special expertise with skills as a photography to provide a visual record of outstanding works, many of which are now endangered by erosion, theft, and vandalism. African Rock Art is an impressive and much appreciated addition to personal, academic and community library African art history and cultural studies collections.

Within this book's content,several qualities are united which make it not only the best aviable introductory textbook into such crucial topic for archaeology and anthropology,but a truly unique contribution that transcendes the compromistic exposure of subject which could be found within more formal textbook.

First,author provided brief but quintessential introduction into the very fundaments of physical and chemical properties which are relevant in those phenomenons which enable exegesis of temporal relations in the form of absolute chronology.

Second,a highly critical disscusion is given for selected materials and their specific characteristic,with conclusions about dating methods which are most appropriate,plus refference to other part of the book which deals with dating methods per se,and this was a very wise choise in semantical organisation,since it enables easy refference to particular issue.

While one could think of style as something not important with regard to books that are dealing with hard science,this is not case here,because author truly suceeded in making his presentation inteligable to readers who are not experts in nuclear physics,but are obliged to know fundaments,methods,and logic of age determination process in quaternary geology-geologists,anthropologists,paleontologists,archaeologists.

Students of these sciencies have often difficulties in finding materials of explanatory,introductory,practical and bibliographical kind,since it is often too fragmentated to be easily obtained.Up to this day,this book is absolutely the best for that purpose.

Finnaly,one must mention that within entire content,one persistant quality is wide diapazon of perspectives on subject-ranging from theoretical and empirical foundation,to such practical aspects as proper taking of samples.Richly illustrated,with strong bibliographic back-up,this is book that is definitely the most accurate scrutinisation of quarternary age determination,and one needs to follow progress in the field from other,more proptly informative sources-corections in calibration,development and refinement of method etc.-but no more to seek for book that synthetises this area of science in a fashion that is both approachable and also professional.

Another 'Readers Digest' of the best late '60s rock writing, culled from the pages of Crawdaddy, Fusion, Esquire, and the Village Voice among others. More than 40 essays, by writers including Meltzer, Pearlman, Danny Fields and Lenny Kaye.

This is a very good book on account of the information and pictures. Alot of people, even die-hard Alanis fans, may not know the info included in the book. There is, still, some information that everyone knew. This takes up about 60% of the book. No doubt the writer did some serious research for this book. Most Pictures are full color, and there are alot of them. I loved this book, personally. I reccomend every Alanis fan gets it

Both the story itself and the delicious, vibrant, and rich illustrations are superb. Story is about a couple having been suddenly blessed with 100 children and now needing to feed them. Alexandra takes action and makes a deal with the local shepard whereby she will scare away the sheep-stealing dragon forever. She cleverly tricks this dragon and his "momma" and by the end they are quite scared of HER and even pay her handsomely to leave them alone forever. The dragons are tenderly illustrated as to be large yet endearingly adorable and not actually scary. Just enough suspense without scariness. This book is fun, empowering, and fear-conquering for kids, and just gorgeously illustrated. Note there is one illustration that could scare some younger readers (dragon with a sheep in its mouth), otherwise I would recommend this for ages 4-5 through at least 10 years old. I'm so sorry to see that this is out-of-print. If I didn't still have my childhood copy I'd probably spring for the "collectible" out-of-print copy, or scour used book stores, thrift stores and the like. This is a Beyond 5 stars wonderful classic book. You might have to put white gloves on the kids if you're paying 100 bucks for it, though.

This was a very well written, very well researched biography. It was an interesting read and the authors obviously knew exactly what they were talking about. They interviewed a vast range of sources, had all sorts of good quotes, anecdotes and pictures. I felt like I was getting the real deal. This is the best Bowie biography I've read. (In case you're wondering, I've read five. I'm doing a report for my arts class.) This answers most of my questions about Bowie, my only regrets being that it was published in the mid-eighties, so I don't get any info on what he's doing now....

This is awesome. Lou goes back to 1956 and meets Elvis Presley. Feel the 50's.

A great book for any Elvis fan! Has tons of memorabilia photos
