About the Author
Brian Fagan was born in England and studied archaeology and anthropology at Pembroke College, Cambridge. After seven years working on ancient agricultural societies in East and southern Africa, he came to the United States, where he taught at the University of California for thirty-six years. He is now emeritus professor of anthropology.
For more than three decades, Brian Fagan has focused on communicating archaeology to general audiences, and is now regarded as one of the leading archaeological writers in the world. His many books include seven college texts; The Rape of the Nile, first published in 1975; The Adventure of Archaeology; and The Long Summer, an account of the impact of climatic change on human society over the past 15,000 years. He lives in Santa Barbara, California, with his wife and daughter, four cats, and, at last count, seven rabbits. His other interests include bicycling, kayaking, sailing, and civilized dinner parties.
