For my research, I only read portions of this book on North Africa and some of the ending section on preservation. I found it to be somewhat balanced in terms of stating a variety of possible interpretations and admitting that what the art stands for in terms of the original intention cannot, or is not yet known. The calls for ethnographical studies via local people groups are very welcome to read, when so often, local people have been ignored by academics and researchers in English language texts.
The photos are beautiful and plentiful and the book is a pleasure to handle. My copy came from my local library, but it would be a pleasure to have both in a collection or as a coffee table addition.
