Book reviewing

[celticdragonfly]

Oh COOL! I get to review another book through the Harper Collins ARC people. Just got the email notification that it's on its way. This one is The Invisible Sex: Uncovering the True Roles of Women in Prehistory by J. M. Adovasio, Olga Soffer, and Jake Page. Sounded interesting, and hey, more books, throw me in the briar patch.

Oh, that does sound cool.

Definitely let us know about it - that sounds like something I'd read. :)

(Is Sarah Smith in the bibliography? She was a professor of mine in undergrad, and I know this area was one of her research areas.)

I am highly amused by your icon. That was my major.

I don't actually have the book yet - it's being mailed to me. I'll try to remember to check the bibliography.

I've got an MA in anthro, which I pretty much use only to win internet arguments. XD

Thanks!

Shiny! Do you get to keep the book afterward? If so, any chance of a short term loan?

Adovasio was a visiting scholar at SMU a few years before I worked there, so I heard bits and bobs about him especially from Dr. David Meltzer. I also have one of Adovasio's previous books.

TBF, anthropologically.

Yes, I get to keep the ARC, and sure, I'll loan it out.
