Facing the Ocean: The Atlantic and Its Peoples 8000 BC-AD 1500.

Lediglich der Schutzumschlag ist leicht berieben und besto�n. Sonst aber ein sehr gutes und sauberes Exemplar/ Only the dust jacket is slightly rubbed and bumped. Otherwise, however, a very good and clean copy. - A new approach to 10,000 years of European history that reveals a kinship amongst the peoples of the Atlantic seaboard�the Celts, Bretons, Galicians, and others�whose lands face the turmoil of the ocean and whose rich cultures and identities reflect their shared experience. Barry Cunliffe is Professor of European Archaeology at Oxford and an internationally known writer and broadcaster on discovering the past.
