Journal of Near Eastern Studies 'This book addresses the long-term environmental as well as economic history of the Yemen case study and contextualizes it within the wider discipline.

American Anthropologist The book succeeds as an example of integrating an empirical geoarchaeological approach to a broader set of disciplines and topics...Harrower's book strikes a hopeful approach that knowledge gained from a long-term perspective that values and applies both scientific and humanistic views can help us see the commonalities shared by seemingly antagonistic groups and build towards greater understanding and geopolitical cooperation. I like that. --Geoarchaeology
