Body and Image: Explorations in Landscape Phenomenology 2. Christopher Tilley. 2008. Left Coast Press, Walnut Creek, California. 288 pp. $34.95 (paper), ISBN 978-1-59874-314-2

In the preface to this volume the author, Christopher Tilley, does what the first paragraph of a book review should do—specify the intent and content of the volume and offer a resume of the analytical and theoretical conclusions of the work—hence my liberal paraphrasing and quoting. The preface announces that this is the second book in an intended trilogy focused on landscape phenomenology. The first chapter discusses the general "phenomenological perspective" of the trilogy and explains this volume's focus on kinaesthetic phenomenology, from which the title, "body and image," is derived. The middle three chapters offer "extended case studies chosen because they represent contrasting periods [Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age], societies [varying in group size and degree of social hierarchization], economies [foraging, hunting-fishinggathering, gardening, and domestication], and landscapes in prehistoric Europe [in areas today known as Norway, Ireland and Sweden]" (p. 11). The concluding chapter offers "comparative observations" on the three studies and a "series of reflections on what it means to interpret the landscape through phenomenologically walking it" (p. 11).
