Publisher's blurb
In this highly illustrated volume, Barry Cunliffe focuses on the western rim of Europe - the Atlantic facade - an area stretching from the Straits of Gibraltar to the Isles of Shetland. We are shown how original and inventive the communities were, and how they maintained their own distinctive identities often over long spans of time. Covering the period from the Mesolithic hunter-gatherers, c. 8000 BC, to the voyages of discovery c. AD 1500, he uses this last half millennium more as a well-studied test case to help the reader better understand what went before.
Chris Pomery's verdict
An excellent and provoctive summary by one of the leading historians of European pre-history.

as to what 'genetic genealogy' is all about.”
