Prehistory of the Americas

There are tons of books and articles out there on the prehistory of the Americas, but none like this. I was really excited about the depth and the approach taken. Instead of the usual one where the past is talked about as dead, this book showed how today's American Indians are the living descendants of the archaeological record. It also covered the biological, linguistic, and oral tradition data on the peopling of the Americas through the Holocene. Very comprehensive.
