“The Cosmos Revealed sets a new standard for what a contemporary monograph on a rock art site should be: we have a detailed historical account, excellent description, the latest in pigment analyses, native voices, rich ethnographic contexts, credible interpretive insights, substantive consideration of preservation and conservation issues and actions, and a wealth of detail in an accessible written format that just invites a vision of not just the imagery but the makers and their worlds. Bravo to a superb collaborative effort put together in an admirable publication!”
