The nature of Paleolithic art
"With more than 3,000 images, The Nature of Paleolithic Art offers the most comprehensive representation of Paleolithic art ever published and a radical (and controversial) new way of interpreting it. The variety and content of these images - most of which have never been available or easily accessible to nonspecialists or even researchers - will astonish you. This wonderfully written work of natural history, of observation and evidence, tells the great story of our deepest past."--Jacket
