Book Review

Prehistoric Native Americans and Ecological Change: Human Ecosystems in Eastern North America since the Pleistocene. By Paul A. Delcourt and Hazel R. Delcourt. New York: Cambridge University Press, 2004, x+203 pp. Illustrations, maps, notes, bibliography, index. $90.00.

If there is any lingering doubt over the idea that prehistoric Native Americans profoundly changed the nature of the landscapes they inhabited, this excellent book should lay it finally and firmly to rest. The Delcourts draw upon decades of work in paleoecology and long association with other disciplines to produce a remarkably concise and thoroughly researched synthesis of information bearing upon past human land use and its ecological effects in eastern North America. Despite the technical nature of the subject matter, the book is clearly written and should be easily accessible to the public as well as to students and scholars in a variety of fields.
