Reviews

A revolutionary perspective of the most intriguing society on earth. Hunt and Lipo unite old and new research findings in a coherent, surprising account of the real reason for the collapse of Easter Island's populations - it was not greed and shortsightedness. And, incidentally, a compelling account of what purpose those statues served and how they were moved. <p><p>--Daniel Simberloff, Nancy Gore Hunger Professor of Environmental Studies, University of Tennessee

There is more plausible information about the island, its people, and its remarkable stone monuments between the covers of this book than in all the many volumes written before. This is a must-read for all those interested in scientific sleuthing at its best. --David A. Burney, Director of Conservation, National Tropical Botanical Garden, and author of Back to the Future in the Caves of Kauai: A Scientist's Adventures in the Dark.

A must read...Hunt and Lipo have harnessed the power of science to show the true history of Easter Island--which is more compelling and amazing than doomsday theorists have led us to believe. --Patricia A. McAnany, Kenan Eminent Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
