註釋"All paleoscientists working in the region will want this book because it brings in so much new material and includes so many new interpretations. This is a grand synthesis and it represents a major revision written in an engaging style that teaches on every level."—Steven R. Simms, author of Ancient Peoples of the Great Basin and the Colorado Plateau.



Praise for the previous edition, The Desert’s Past:

“Grayson clearly has a great love for and deep understanding of his subject, and throughout the book he manages to convey a sense of excitement. The informality and readability of the main text will satisfy the needs of a general audience.”—Science

“This is a complete guide to the environmental and archaeological history of the Great Basin. . . .It addresses virtually every major research issue that has engaged Great Basin prehistorians over the past several decades.”—American Anthropologist

"Sure to become a standard regional reference in the geological, biological, and anthropological sciences. [Grayson’s] enthusiasm for the subject matter is obvious and contagious. There are many reasons to recommend this volume.”—American Antiquity

"A classic volume on the environmental human history of the Great Basin.”—Quaternary Research

"As complete and vivid a rendering of the changing past across a major American geographic province as any book I know.”—Stephen Trimble, Western Historical Quarterly

“No other book brings together such a deep insight into the history of the inter-mountain West.”—Choice
