More about the Book Set:More than three years of research will culminate this month with the appearance of Pre-Columbian Contacts with the Americas across the Oceans: An Annotated Bibliography, by John L. Sorenson and Martin H. Raish. Prominent scholars are enthusiastic about this 1195-page, 2-volume set. "You may have fired the shot heard round the world," said Dr. George F. Carter of Texas A&M. He refers to the "revolution" necessary to open this controversial subject to reconsideration by scholars. A large majority of them have long denied that any significant early voyages reached the New World. "Diffusionists," who believe that voyages were made before Columbus, typically cite slim evidence, which has been easy to brush aside by those with minds already made up. "Average anthropological professors still are totally firm that no evidence of diffusion to America exists," notes Carl L. Johannessen, University of Oregon geography professor, applauding the groundbreaking new work. Of course, when the Book of Mormon reports groups reaching America from Eurasia by sea, it tends to get painted as fakery with the same brush of scorn used on other "diffusionist" works. Sorenson and Raish were convinced that this bias was in part the result of ignorance by the reputed experts of a huge body of published evidence. So they have aimed to provide a research tool that would make obscure but valuable sources accessible-even unavoidable. The bibliography has over 5600 entries. It covers a huge range of publications by all types of writers-popularizers and scholars, pro, con, and on the fence. Descriptions sketch what most of the books and articles have to say. Works are drawn from a dozen languages (all foreign titles are translated to English) and from such diverse fields as anthropology, archaeology, art, botany, folklore, geography, linguistics, and the history of sailing. Relevant pieces by LDS scholars are included. A 100-page index quickly locates references to any topic. Sorenson is Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at BYU and a long-time F.A.R.M.S. worker. Raish is with the library, State U. of New York, Bing Hamton, and is an art historian. F.A.R.M.S. previously published two working editions of the bibliography. The new version is greatly expanded and improved. Copyright © 2018-2024 TDM Inc. The photos and text in this listing are copyrighted.
