Don't recall, saw it a few moths ago in a bookstore and
leafed through it is all. Should show up on Amazon.

I guess you are right about us not being able to find the
best archeological sites. Humans tend to concentrate on the
coasts, and all that is a hundred yards under water now. The
stuff we see is probably what the rustic country folk of
paleo times produced. The big population centers are all
under water. I am really looking forward to seeing what
underwater archeology turns up. The best cave art is long
gone though. Sad.
