Reviews

In a highly original and impeccably researched book, Professor Garfinkel examines the cultural origins of primitive dance... Dancing at the Dawn of Agriculture offers fresh insights into life in the Cradle of Civilization, and will hopefully serve as great sustenance for future thought on this intriguing issue. --Minvera, November/December, 2004
