This is an exceptionally interesting synthesis of the entire historic and prehistoric sequence in the Namib. There is plenty of new data here, as well as a very coherent theory that holds it all together and turns the otherwise dry archaeological data into a compelling narrative. Namib: The Archeology of an African Desert is the first ever full-length, comprehensive overview of the archaeology of the Namib Desert and goes a long way toward reclaiming the history of the desert's people from narrow empiricism and difftcult-to-access specialised archaeological literature. It is a significant achievement and an exemplary academic book: deeply researched, both in the literature and in the desert.
