 The First Americans: In Pursuit of Archaeology's Greatest Mystery, by J. M. Adovasio, Jake Page (Contributor)
Adovasio begins The First Americans by putting his work into historical context, from the earliest European fantasies about where the Native Americans came from to the birth of modern archaeology and the origins of the dogma his own work has debunked. But at its heart, his book is the story of the revolution in thinking that he and his peers have brought about, and the firestorm it has ignited. (UK )
