From Stonehenge to Las Vegas

Using wide-ranging examples and compelling images to support his often controversial theses including the assertion that the past is a renewable resource Cornelius Holtorf merges archaeological and cultural theory to take readers on an erudite tour of these intersections. Deliberately blurring the borders between <I>past people</I> and <I>present meanings</I> this ambitious project seeks no less than the redefinition of the term archaeology. Equal parts amusing infuriating provocative and thought-provoking this work will interest students and teachers in archaeology anthropology cultural studies and human geography as well as professionals in heritage management and museums.
