註釋"Since its first publication in 1987 as The History of Beads, this book has become the world's definitive guide for bead lovers, collectors and scholars. In this new edition, author Lois Sherr Dubin updates all chapters with the late st archeolog ical discoveries; pens a new chapter on contemporary adornment since the 1980s, with a focus on glass beads; and best of all, revises and adds 225 beads to what is considered by many to be the piece de resistance: the eight-page gatefold timeline that guides readers through the remarkably rich history of the world's first form of adornment. The latest revisions include an update on the oldest bead ever discovered, now dated to around 100,000 BC, and an explanation on why beads worn on the human body were the original media communication system." --Book Jacket.
