Description:
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The past was governed by the same rules as the present, and this was known as uniformitarianism. It was first developed by the Scottish geologist James Hutton in the late eighteenth century, and culminated in Charles Lyell’s Principles of Geology, first published in 1830.
#2 Archaeology is a science-based humanity that sets out to reveal the way various communities interacted and how this in turn led to their rise or decline. But you cannot do this simply by studying artifacts. You must also pay attention to the landscapes where people lived.
#3 The seaside towns and villages of East Anglia have a charm all of their own. I have a particular fondness for the cliffs at the little village of Dunwich, in Suffolk, with their thick woods that allow tantalizing glimpses of the sea far below.
#4 The footprints at Goldcliff in the Severn Estuary were made around 4700 BC, at the end of the Mesolithic, but the ones at Happisburgh were made by a family group who were out foraging for food along the tidal river.
