"A down-and-out so-and-so gets more than she bargained for when new technologies developed for use in space allow an anthropologist a new perspective on earth's ancient histories and new ways of coping with those"--
From surprise advancements after the declassification of spy photography, to a new map of the mythical Egyptian city of Tanis,
Parcak
shares the biggest discoveries of satellite archaeology. She examines how multispectral and high-resolution satellite imagery have helped identify thousands of previously unknown settlements, roads, fortresses, palaces, tombs, and even potential pyramids. She takes us back in time and across borders, into the day-to-day lives of ancient humans whose traits and genes we share. And she shows us that if we heed the lessons of the past, we can shape a vibrant future. -- adapted from jacket
