Hard Back. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition First Printing Stated. 370 Pages Indexed. Very lightly bumped top corners. No other defects noted to this tight book with flawless interior text pages. Celebrated by his colleagues in the Americas, Europe, and Africa as a brilliant innovator who… made significant advances in archaeological method and theory, Fred Wendorf has been a dominant figure in American and North African archaeology in an extremely productive career spanning nearly six decades. This engaging autobiography chronicles his personal and professional lives. There is no one who has contributed more to our understanding of human adaptive behavior and cultural evolution in the Nile Valley and the Eastern Sahara than Fred Wendorf. The record of the Combined Prehistoric Expedition, directed and master-minded by Wendorf, has provided insight as never before into human occupation and behavior along the Nile and in the Desert, enabling us to appreciate something of the evolving adaptive strategies used there by the prehistoric populations of the Upper Acheulean to the Late Neolithic, providing one of the most complete pictures of later Quaternary life-ways and economies from anywhere in the world. This is a record of carefully and competently planned and meticulously executed research, survey, excavation, and laboratory analysis-directed by someone with the vision to perceive what is needed, where it can be obtained, and how it might be interpreted. Illustrations throughout including a 32 page center section of glossy black and white photographs. Dawson, Tom - Design (illustratore).
