]Montanero, I thought I would send you a PM, but I find that you too are over limit. Oh well....
I would recommend [/b]Ancient North America[b] by Brian Fagan. I must admit that I have not read this book, but I know his work and I am confident he speaks with straight tongue, as they say in the movies. Looking at the reviews on Amazon, I was surprised at the low overall rating, but I regard the lowest ratings as rather superficial. I would carefully consider the first rating posted - it seems to be balanced and thoughtful
Actually, I have read one of his works, "Cruising Guide to Caifornia's Channel Islands", and it was accurate, informative, well written, and it has kept me out of trouble for many years.
I am afraid I fit the classic definition of a specialist - one who knows more and more about less and less. I can tell you more than you want to know about the archaeology and paleontology of western Santa Rosa Island.....
