I thought you would be interested to know that "Stones, Bones, and Ancient Cities: Great Discoveries in Archaeology and the Search for Human Origins," by Lawrence H. Robbins, Ph.D., has just been brought back into print by The Blackburn Press. An introductory text that captures the excitement of archaeological discovery, the book covers four main areas: 1) Spectacular and important finds (including Lucy, European cave art, the Tomb of Tutankhamen, Troy, Pompeii, Machu Picchu, Stonehenge, Native American sites, the Rosetta Stone and the Dead Sea Scrolls) and the way they were made. 2) The personalities concerned with many of these discoveries. 3) The reaction to the finds and their impact on both science and the public. 4) Changing interpretations about the discoveries. A new preface to this reprint of the 1990 edition discusses some of the new finds that have appeared since this book was first published. "A modern day Indiana Jones, archaeologist Robbins has compiled facts, theories, and personal experience into ... a fascinating, highly readable, and informative excursion into the richness of the past and the secrets it holds." Booklist "Stones, Bones, and Ancient Cities: Great Discoveries in Archaeology and the Search for Human Origins," By Lawrence H. Robbins, Ph.D. ISBN 1-930665-87-3, Paperback, 268 pages. For more information, see: http://www.blackburnpress.com/stboandancig.html The Blackburn Press is a relatively new publishing company, founded with the mission of keeping in print and available for purchase at reasonable prices book titles that larger publishers have lost interest in and have declared to be "out of print." It specializes in scientific and technical books that are classics in their field. (See www.blackburnpress.com). The Blackburn Press is especially interested in reprinting niche textbooks with modest adoptions. While it is not well-positioned to bring every out-of-print book back into production, its editors are eager to hear from authors and readers about out-of-print books that have value and should be returned to print.
