Roger Blench's new book is an impressive demonstration of the ways in which evidence from different disciplines--including archaeology, historical linguistics, comparative ethnography, ethnobiology, and genetics--can be combined to generate compelling reconstructions of African prehistory. The result is both entertaining and scholarly, a magisterial synthesis of current methods and knowledge that is enriched by a wealth of data and insights from the author's own researches in the field. This is a book that no student of the African past can afford to be without., For over a century linguists, archaeologists, historians, anthropologists, and more recently, geneticists have each been writing their own versions of African history. Similarly, specialists in the four African language phyla have been telling the history and classification of their own phylum. Now for the first time comes a book which synthesizes all these threads. The author is at once scholarly and able to communicate in a way that makes the book accessible to students and academics., Roger Blench's new book is an impressive demonstration of the ways in which evidence from different disciplines �including archaeology, historical linguistics, comparative ethnography, ethnobiology, and genetics �can be combined to generate compelling reconstructions of African prehistory.

This is a book that no student of the African past can afford to be without., This book is an enthusiastic plea in favour of more intensive and dynamic trans-disciplinary collaboration for the reconstruction of the African past. With a comprehensive survey of methodological issues, the author offers a good insight in what we can credibly recover from the historical study of languages. He develops a series of inspiring assumptions on the origin and expansion of Africa's language families by linking the most recent linguistic data--often collected by himself--with evidence from archaeology, genetics, ethnography, and oral traditions. He also delves into the economic history of the continent through the comparative study of plant and animal vocabularies, a field of research which unfortunately too few other scholars in African linguistics have explored., This book is an enthusiastic plea in favour of more intensive and dynamic trans-disciplinary collaboration for the reconstruction of the African past.

- a***u (832)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThis seller couldn't have been better! She answered my questions promptly, sent me photos I requested and when the book arrived, on time, not only was it in excellent condition, but she had packaged it better than any item I can ever remember receiving in my many years of purchasing on Ebay! She also worked with me wonderfully on the price of the book that I purchased and there is not enough good that I can say about this seller! Thank you and please feel totally positive about any purchase! :-)
- a***e (210)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufA+ Seller! Shipping was fast, packaging was protective, vintage item was as good or better than description and the value unbeatable! Seller communication was fast, friendly and accommodating in every way. I have saved this seller and you should too! EXCELLENT! THANK YOU!
- s***m (4)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufGood experience communicating with the seller, value for money given that it's OOP, well packaged although a bit overkill with the amount of tape, but better safe than sorry. Great condition for a book that is like new and arguably in better shape than described. Timely shipping too. A great experience that I would absolutely do again.
