Product Description
Review
"I never would have thought that archaeology would be so interesting, so relevant to how we think today ... and so disturbing. In "The Buried Soul", Timothy Taylor tells a provocative and often grisly tale. This is a fascinating book, grippingly written, of considerable scope and ambition." Paul Bloom, Professor of Psychology, Yale University No archaeoogist who reads this book will ever be able to contemplate human remains with the same innocence as before, nor can any reader regard fellow humans with as much optimism. Taylor calls into question the adequacy of both the ecological rationalism and the cultural relativism that for decades have been the interpretational mainstays of archaeology...Taylor makes a major contribution to building a more comprehensive understanding of human beings. Bruce Trigger, Professor of Anthropology, McGill University Praise for THE PREHISTORY OF SEX: 'Taylor's book, in short, is a sort of Communist Manifesto for the new sexual revolution.' Evening Standard 'Taylor has written an illuminating and immensely entertaining account of one of the most fundamental aspects of humanity.' Mail on Sunday 'An intelligent, well-researched contribution to our understanding of past societies and, by extension,of how we view ourselves.' Scotland on Sunday
Bel Mooney, The Times
His quest for answers takes us on an extraordinary journey, like time travellers in the boneyards of history. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
