First Peoples in a New World: Populating Ice Age America

Outstanding work, well written, thorough, and a friendly read.

Very up to date, well written and even enjoyable to read. The amount of material on the first peoples in a new world has greatly increased in the past few decades and this book will bring you up to date. It is an upper level college textbook but written so clearly that most people can easily understand it. It will help you understand the conditions that early peoples encountered as well as how they got here, spread out and prospered until Europeans entered the picture. James Kirkland, Ph.D., CPG

Plates between pages 258 and 259 are not included. Otherwise good book.

A few other older reviews mentioned an issue with some of the photo plates being missing, so I reached out to the author to confirm that it has been fixed. He said it was an issue from amazon doing print on demand before the cambridge university press version was ready. My copy just arrived in the mail today and it does have the photos between page 258 & 259. I haven’t read it yet, but just looking at the table of contents and skimming through, it looks like it’s incredibly in depth & well researched/referenced (60 page bibliography).

The author is highly readable, comprehensive, and has a sense of humor. Highly recommend!
