Summary: Great pictures
Review: This book is a coffee-table photo album of prehistoric art from around the world. The largest chapter is organized geographically, with examples from Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, the Americas, and Oceania. Another chapter is organized according to where the art is found, including caverns, rock shelters, and open-air art. The remaining chapters discuss other features such as possible interpretations for the art. The images are delightful and quite representative. Each image includes an extensive informative caption that describes where it is from and why it is of interest. The main text, on the other hand, is not as satisfying, as it jumps around or mentions irrelevant details or speculations. Buy this book for its images, and don't bother reading the text.
