Book Description
Excerpt from Prehistoric Races of the United States of America It will thus be apparent that I enter upon this work, not as a mere compiler, but as an original observer. Most of the illustrations have been derived from materials now for the first time brought together. As this volume is intended only as a Compendium of our Antiquities, to be restricted to a given number of pages, I have been compelled for the most part to represent groups by a single illustration, and on a greatly reduced scale, and to discuss many questions relating to our Ethnology in a summary, and in what some may consider a superficial, manner.

Book Description
A New York Times Bestseller This terrific new book…[explores] the ‘notion of whiteness,’ an idea as dangerous as it is seductive." —Boston Globe Telling perhaps the most important forgotten story in American history, eminent historian Nell Irvin Painter guides us through more than two thousand years of Western civilization, illuminating not only the invention of race but also the frequent praise of “whiteness” for economic, scientific, and political ends. A story filled with towering historical figures, The History of White People closes a huge gap in literature that has long focused on the non-white and forcefully reminds us that the concept of “race” is an all-too-human invention whose meaning, importance, and reality have changed as it has been driven by a long and rich history of events.

Book Description
With the settling of the New World, word spread throughout Europe of the native inhabitants, their artifacts, communities, and culturals. Prehistoric America by Marquis de Nadaillac is a prime example of a classic work of the period that addressed the antiquity of humans in the New World, drawing upon the full range of scientific data compiled on the inhabitants and their cultures. The proximity of human remains with those of extinct animals was still a very recent finding, even in the Old World. Nadaillac's early attempts at cross-cultural comparison and theoretical explanations make this wor.
