from Anchor
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
Having been familiar with the briefest of facts regarding the cave art in France, I was not sure what to expect when I read this book. Let's face it - this is not a frequent part of conversation today.
But what a wonderful book this is. There have been many discoveries now, and the time is... more info

from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $29.70

Customer Review:
A few months ago I came face-to-face with some beautiful drawings in a cave in France (Font de Gaume) which were made by people very like me, but they were made 40,000 years ago. This experience was riveting, especially when I learned that such drawings were to be found in hundreds of caves from... more info

Customer Review:
It is a very heavily illustrated book, and there are some good points about it. You many be interested in artistic conventions of the past, e.g. how in the 1820-1840's, marine reptiles were always shown on land spouting like whales.

5.Subway ArtSubway Art
from Holt Paperbacks
Price: $14.96

Customer Review:
I grew up on the south side of Chicago during the 80s and had many friends who were "taggers" and got up every chance they got. They had spray-cans, hollowed-out deodorant sticks somehow replaced with ink, fat markers, Griffin, and who knows what else. Though I myself wasnt a graffiti artist or... more info

from Harry N. Abrams

After reading the Shelter of Stone by Jean Auel (first series was the Clan of the Bear Cave), I became fascinated about pre-historic Cave Art.

from Dover Publications
Price: $20.95

Customer Review:
Even if you, like me, don't have much of a knowledge base about ancient Mexican history, it's cool just to show people the book. I've flipped through it and gained a vague understanding of how it fits into history, and I appreciate that it brings to life an aspect of a culture that I really only... more info

Customer Review:
Note: You're "helpful" votes are appreciated. One Mormon reader likes to automatically give my reviews negative votes because of my negative reviews of books on the Book of Mormon. Oh, well, and Thanks.
Miller's book is a must for anyone interested in the cultures of ancient Mexico and Central... more info
