Pat Getz-Gentle provides a clear and detailed survey of the Cycladic period; an early Bronze Age culture that thrived at the heart of the Aegean. In particular; she emphasizes the steps leading to the iconic; reclining folded-arm figure that uniquely defines the Cycladic era. Getz-Gentle also focuses on the personal aesthetics of fifteen carvers; several of whom are identified and discussed in this volume. New to this paperback edition is an expanded bibliography as well an addendum that contains additional works Getz-Gentle has attributed to some of the fifteen Cycladic sculptors she discusses in her book.

Will the copy actually be in new; excellent "gifting" condition?This was delivered in perfect condition. The book covers many "memories" of growing up and living in Littleton; Colorado.
