In Search of Ancient North America
PRAISE
"Drawing on some of the latest archaeological research, Pringle's book is vivid, witty, and responsible in a field too often tilled by cranks and bores. All who are curious about life in North America before the European invasion will find the book a stimulating introduction.
- Ronald Wright, author of A Short History of Progress and Stolen Continents.
"Deserving kudos, Pringle dramatically evokes the passion, dedication and perseverance of these seemingly inexhaustible scientists."
- Booklist
"In this book, Pringle is at her best. Situating herself in each of the nine archaeological sites, she is able to evoke in her descriptions a sense of place, immediacy and wonder without compromising the scientific importance of the subject matter at hand. Her profiles of the scientists, while often flattering, are never saccharine.
- The Edmonton Journal
"Heather Pringle has a talent for making archaeology sing and dance. Pringle recounts new research and discoveries, summarizes the latest thinking on humankind's New World origins, and in the process brings several leading archaeologists to invigorating and passionate life."
