Reviews
Namib is an archaeological page-turner. John Kinahan's writing clearly shows a deep knowledge and mastery of his subject born from many decades of tireless and meticulous research in what is a truly massive study area. * Azania: Archaeological Research in Africa *
The book ... is informed by an imaginative and reasoned evocation of pre-history and a close reading of the written record. The author maintains a remarkable balance between close focus and humane vision in his ability to sustain "a story of human survival over the last one million years in one of the most hostile environments on earth". -- Tony Voss * African Studies Quarterly *
This book represents a near-lifetime of detailed research .... [it] represents a major contribution to our knowledge of the Deep History of one of the great deserts of the Southern Hemisphere. -- Peter Veth * Canadian Journal of African Studies *
Namib is exceptionally well-written. Those who are not archaeological initiates will welcome the opportunity to get an insight into the craft of the archaeologist and appreciate the requisite for presenting well-researched and analysed evidence. -- Eckhard Schleberger * Journal of Namibian Studies *
