While still young, Tulirane is taken from his family and forced to live as a slave among the obsidian masters of  atalh y k (Bhelsakros in our story), a \"town\" of some 8,000 people that has only become more baffling as archaeological technologies have become more precise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Tuli moves from one world into another--from the open wilderness that sheltered the foragers into the closed, white-plastered chambers that sheltered the townsfolk of  atalh y k--he becomes acutely aware of the differences in how the people in each of these two worlds live and die, and what they hold dear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMary Settegast has written several non-fiction books about archaeology and cultural change, but this is her first novel. It is intended not only for young adults but for all ages who are interested in Old World prehistory and the ultimate triumph of agriculture over hunting and gathering. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Settegast\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Settegast\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780578470085","brand":"Mary Settegast","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40463801876595,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":19.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_7daaa720-cc06-48e1-a3c2-f7e0a92570e9.jpg?v=1663940030","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-bear-the-bull-and-the-child-of-light-a-prehistoric-novel-9780578470085","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
