Robin Dennell. The Palaeolithic settlement of Asia (Cambridge World Archaeology). xxiv+548 pages, 172 illustrations, 47 tables. 2009. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press; 978-0-521-61310-1 paperback £55 & $95.

There are several excellent chapters in this volume that I would recommend to experienced archaeologists and students alike, such as, for example, those on ecology, Classical art and the Grand Tour, Darwinian archaeologies, agency, complexity theory, cultural resource management, and hunter-gatherers. These are good stand-alone pieces as they place their topics within a relevant disciplinary history, use interesting case-studies to illustrate the main points, present future research questions and give numerous references. Importantly they also foster debate by drawing comparisons with other strands of archaeological theory.
