"Whitley has produced a valuable addition to the rock art literature aimed at the general public. . . . It is a useful guide and long overdue." --Bill Hyder, La Pintura,The Official Newsletter of the American Rock Art Research Association

This unique full-color field guide is essential not only for the visitors to any of the 38 sites covered but also for anyone who seeks to understand why shamans in the Far West created rock art and what they sought to depict. As one of North America's foremost authorities on prehistoric art, Whitley is on the cutting edge of dating and interpreting the images as well as describing the cultures that created them.
