The supporting evidence runs from the Solomon Islands to classical China to ancient Ireland. Highly significant on its own, this evidence also provides the information needed to assess the Latter-day Saints' effort to provide a single narrative on how humanity keeps track of itself." --Résumé de l'éditeur.
