Extremely Interesting

This is a Godsend. For years, I have tried to find information on the current views of archaeologists on the peopling of the Americas. Having been one that had a hard time with the conventional theories regarding the landbridge. This book is an answer, in part, to my search.Ms. Pringle does an outstanding job of hitting the facts and putting in her own and others thoughts. I could not put this book down. Please, give me more to read like this.... For any who are interested, another good book to read is "Sailing to Paradise" by James (Jim) Bailey.
