"Beautifully created, easily read, informative, and very interesting . the images accompanying the text [are] a constant source of delight and discovery." -- Midwest Book Review " Rock Art and its Legacy in Myth and Art . reveals that the world is full of petroglyphs, or carvings incised into stone, many beautiful and some extremely ancient . The text is highly scholarly (albeit distinctly chewy) but the pictures are glorious enough to tempt you to set off immediately for the wilds of Kyrgyzstan or arctic Norway." -- Spectator "[ Rock Art ] represents a remarkably extensive survey of the major petroglyph sites across much of the world. Bringing together research from various fields, including anthropology, ethnography and archaeology, the book offers a profound exploration of the physical and metaphysical landscapes of our ancestors. It is also superbly illustrated, and consequently will surely prove a magnificent resource.

" -- The Art Newspaper "It succeeds not only as a comprehensive study of petroglyphs but also as a celebration of human creativity across time. For anyone interested in ancient art, mythology, or cultural history, this book is both enlightening and deeply enjoyable." -- Current World Archaeology "Consistently astonishing . a beautiful and authoritative text, one to dip in, to marvel at, whilst admiring its creators, both modern and ancient." -- Fortean Times.
