-James C. Chatters / Hardcover 320 pages / Published June 2001
This excellent book is the definitive account of Kennewick Man. It is a firsthand account of the investigation and debate over the fossil remains of
that ancient person known as Kennewick Man.
Riveting and well written this book is an in-depth discussion of almost every aspect of this
important discovery, how the skeletetal remains of an early American were found on a river bank near Kennewick, Washington in 1996, the
expert analysis of the remains, socio-political conflict over the bones, and the overall impact that it casts on human migration patterns.
Dr. James Chatters, a professional forensic anthropologist, paleoecologist, and archeologist working in Washington State, became involved
in this investigation and much of this this book deals with his findings.
In addition, the author expertly explores the fossil remains found and origins of the other early Americans, referred to as Paleo-Americans.
This facinating book is highly recommended to all readers interested in the earliest peoples of the Americas.

-Patricia Lauber / Hardcover 48 pages / Publhished March 1998
Produced by National Geographic, the beauty of this prehistoric cave art in this book is a delight. The brief text is clear, informed and concise,
just right for readers in the middle grades and upward. This text is blended into the set of large color photographs of Chauvet Cave prehistoric art,
and is well supported by modern paintings and by apt photographs of ancient carvings and implements. The vigorous beauty of murals painted by the light
of lamps fueled by animal fat is stunning. Here are full masterpieces, bison and reindeer, cave lions and spotted horses, all done many centuries before,
when woolly rhinos roamed the south of France. The carbon dating that fixes those times long before history is made credible in a simple page or two.

Elitte Brunel DesChamps (Contributor)
Hardcover 135 pages / Published March 1996
In this remarkable book a series of experts in prehistory discuss the nature of the Chauvet Cave and the prehistoric paintings recently discovered
on its walls. The discoverers of Chauvet Cave are well known and respected speleologists who maintained impeccable records while exploring their
find. It is they who tell the story of their explorations. The text is an easy-to-read translation, however, it is the photographs that capture
the real power and beauty of these paleolithic paintings, bringing the humanity of their Stone Age artists close to home. Some of its vivid panels
of horses, lions, and rhinoceri are as much as 31,000 years old and are beautifully reproduced in this book. Chauvet Cave has been identified as
having the oldest prehistoric painting in a cave yet found anywhere.
Very highly recommended for any collection on paleolithic drawings, art history or prehistory art.
