Reviews

‘This is new data in an emerging and promising field of research. The issues and case studies are effectively placed within a wider theoretical and geographic context. I particularly like the connection between place, road and pathways.’ Professor Claire Smith, Flinders University 'This intriguing anthology investigates one of the many paradoxes of rock art: how thorough analyses of emplaced artworks in the landscape can be used to reveal insights into people's movements. It presents an enjoyable global exploration that will take the reader on an odyssey into people's mindscapes. It's a must-read!' Professor Joakim Goldhahn, University of Western Australia
