Bøker av Caroline Wickham-Jones

Comprehensive introduction to the effects of sea-level change on prehistoric landscapes and the techniques and methods of interpretation applicable to the study of submerged archaeology illustrated by case studies.

The environmental crisis is one of the most pressing concerns to face the population of the world today. The debate centres on the way in which our current problems are of recent making and how we might fix them. But in reality the issue is far more fundamental and stretches back further in time than many of us might think.

Caroline Wickham-Jones provides a highly readable and informative overview of Orkney's archaeological heritage, illustrated with beautiful photography.

Orkney-based archaeologist Caroline Wickham-Jones explores more than 60 of Orkney's monuments in concise and accessible terms, set in context by a brief history of the islands.

This newly revised book is designed to provide a comprehensive guide for those who visit Orkney and would like to know more about its enigmatic history.

Wickham-Jones takes us to humps and bumps and piles of stone - the ordinary sites which explorers of the countryside come across every day. After reading this book a walk in the countryside will never be the same again.
