"All in all, this collection provides an inspiring entry point for readers new to this subject. Summing Up: Recommended." - Choice"At Kakadu in Australia, I learnt the Ubir escarpment rock faces were first decorated over 40,000 years ago. Whilst today most of the decoration is 2,000 years old it is still used to tell stories to children warning them of the dangers they could face in the wild. Entries such as this, which may appear to be more light-hearted and less scholarly, give a good balance to the encyclopedia. This balance indicates how well-researched the material is whilst also ensuring that it is accessible, relevant and interesting to a wide variety of possible readers. It is a volume that I would highly recommend to anyone with an academic or casual interest in the subject." - Reference Reviews
