Readers of literature on Easter Island will delight in the authors' insights on how the statues "walked" and the plentiful rat bone finds, but most of all, they'll appreciate the book's clarity. It should attract a wide readership among both adventure-loving lay readers and anthropologists/archaeologists.
This is a mind-boggling trip filled with information—and imagination. The lack of a bibliography is a serious omission, but maverick readers of the authors may love the adventure and make it a best seller.
While anyone interested in European prehistory will benefit from Butler's work, the underlying emotion will resonate especially with Britons—the book is a British import, and the "Our" in the subtitle refers to Britons—when he writes that "when we visit some of the remarkable prehistoric sites of the British Isles, we are simply going home."
Lay readers who enjoy travel and adventure will be engrossed by this book, which is clearly written and generously illustrated. Students and scholars of anthropology and history will be delighted with Thomas's research and documentation, which allow informants to speak for themselves.
