A reviewer of one of Bradley's earliest books commented that he could only find one fault in it - that the author had the trick of making what he wrote seem so easy and natural. It is a talent that he has maintained, making any of his major works, including this, immediately take its place as a leading contribution to the field with which it engages.
Time and Mind
Bradley's book is stimulating and his arguments clearly exposed. This journey through later prehistoric art which Bradley invites fellow travellers to join may produce different, reactions, but it is certainly a voyage worth undertaking.
Madeleine Hummler, Antiquity
Yet another fine book from Bradley... An excellent informative read.
George Nash, British Archaeology
An attractive book which many of us would want in our libraries
John Collis
Richard Bradley ... begins his intriguing new book by challenging the readiness of prehistoric archaeologists
Alasdair Whittle
Image and Audience certainly functions as an enjoyable and rewarding read for the student of art and its place in archaeology
Archaeological Review from Cambridge
a thought-provoking volume, one of many from the Bradley stable, beautifully written and packed full of examples ... the book is supported by excellent referencing and imagery and will be a refreshing addition to the student and enthusiast's bookshelf.
