Hard Back. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. - A Handy Alphabetical Guide to the Repertoire, Literature and Terminology of Magic and Magicians with 392 Illustraions (illustrateur). First American Edition First Printing. 127 Pages Indexed. There is a half-inch tear to the jacket at the top spine area. This book explores the world of archaeology, explaining techniques, research and other details, and brings the reader behind the scenes at an excavation to spotlight the gritty details of an archaeologists' work. Archaeology has had an irreversible impact on how we think of the past: it alone has hugely extended our idea of how long people have been on the earth and its rigorous method has replaced speculation as a way of filling gaps in our knowledge of previous civilizations. Although archaeology is often seen as an academic subject, it concerns us all. It is all through archaeology that we can answer the fundamental questions about how humankind: where we came from, how societies evolve, why the majority of peoples changed hunting and gathering to settled farming; why we lost our hair; when art developed: the fascinating details of everyday life that even civilizations how had a script never wrote down.
