From the preface - I suppose all professions and professionals have their share of critics. Not a single trade or craft is above scrutiny or criticism. That's how it should be, because only through constant review and improvement will excellence be achieved. I always have had a keen interest in archaeology and anthropology. Old objects dug up from past cultures and civilizations hold a special fascination for me. Likewise, the story of mankind from the ancient past to the present day attracts both my attention and attention of the general public. This is a paperback book with 170 pages with black and white photographs throughout.
