Very Short Introductions #10: Archaeology: A Very Short Introductionby Paul G Bahn
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:Oxford's Very Short Introductions series offers concise and original introductions to a wide range of subjects — from Islam to Sociology, Literary Theory to History, and Archaeology to the Bible. Not simply a textbook of definitions, each volume provides trenchant and provocative — yet always balanced and complete — discussions of the central issues in a given discipline or field. Every Very Short Introduction gives a readable evolution of the subject in question, demonstrating how the subject developed and how it influenced society. Eventually, the series will encompass every major academic discipline, offering all readers an accessible and abundant reference library. Whatever area of study one deems important or appealing, whatever topic fascinates the general reader, the Very Short Introductions series has a handy and affordable guide that will likely prove indispensable.
About the AuthorDr. Paul Bahn is a freelance writer and broadcaster. His many publications include the acclaimed textbook Archaeology: Theories, Methods, and Practice (co-written with Colin Renfrew), Easter Island, the highly illustrated Images of the Ice Age, and the Collins Dictionary of Archaeology.
