The May 6 issue of Science includes a very positive review of The Goddess and the Bull by Steven Mithen, a well-known archaeologist at the University of Reading in the UK and author himself of The Prehistory of the Mind and After the Ice. A full-text link to this review can be found by going to the Goddess and the Bull tab on this Web site and then to Reviews.

I am particularly proud of this review because, despite possible appearances, Science does not routinely review books by its own reporters!
