The World Prehistory Coloring Book is as appropriate for use in an introductory college class as it is for your grandchildren. The book is designed to have broad appeal. The World Prehistory Coloring Book takes you on a trip through deep time. There are 30 finely rendered, well-researched original images that chronicle humanity from our first upright ancestors approximately four million years ago to comparatively recent civilizations like the Maya. Within these pages is a sample of humanity's greatest prehistoric hits as interpreted by archaeologist Richard Adams and illustrator Brian Loner. We create an evocative chronicle of the lives of prehistoric people. Unlike other coloring books, we provide the location of the image, the time period, and an explanatory caption. We try to avoid archaeological jargon, but do use scientific nomenclature when needed.

Additional key search terms, and citation of the scientific literature provide opportunities for further study. This book helps you imagine what happened in the past, without having to focus on the methods that archaeologists use to uncover the past. We cover subjects ranging from Ice Age hunters to Mayans and Mesopotamians in rough chronological order. We cover Gobekli Tepe- an ancient Turkish monument twice as old as Stonehenge; we look at Egyptian bread-making during the time of the Pharaohs, and the Austrian Ice Man's last minutes. The World Prehistory Colorin g Book lets you decide if Neandertals had blue skin or mammoths had pink hair.
