Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"A 15,000-year conversation between evidentiary science and the unblinking memory of a continent."Before the "conquest" and before the "frontier," there was the arrival. Gathering Fire is the definitive story of the first peoples to enter the Americas-a sequence of understanding that tracks the ingenious strategies and enduring values that allowed for a successful 15,000-year migration and adaptation to a new world.In this modern work of scholarship, we move beyond the "whitewash" of traditional history by giving equal weight to tribal oral histories and scientific evidentiary data. Ben Potter, PhD, a leading anthropological archaeologist from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, "sets the table" with the latest archaeological analysis, while Indigenous voices provide the lived context of a culture that has never forgotten its origins. Gathering Fire is more than a history book; it is a dialogue between equals, reconstructing the "Peopling of the Americas" as an active, ongoing story of human consciousness and environmental integrity.
