520    In 2014, the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the 
       Ancient World organized an international writing 
       competition calling for accessible and engaging essays 
       about any aspect of archaeology. Nearly 150 submissions 
       from over two dozen countries were received. Archaeology 
       for the People gathers the best of those entries. Their 
       diverse topics—from the destruction of historic, 
       urban gardens in contemporary Istanbul to the fall of the 
       ancient Maya city— offer a taste of the global reach
       and relevance of archaeology. Their main common trait, 
       however, is that they prove that archaeology can offer 
       much more to a general audience than Indiana Jones or 
       aliens building pyramids. All of the articles collected in
       this book combine sophisticated analysis of an exciting 
       archeological problem with prose geared at a non-
       specialized audience. This book also offers a series of 
       reflections on how and why to engage in dialogues about 
       archaeology with people who are not specialists. These 
       include a stunning photo-essay that captures the 
       challenges of life at an archaeological site in northern 
       Sudan, interviews with a number of leading archaeologists 
       who have successfully written about archaeology for a 
       broad public or who are actively engaged in practicing 
       archaeology beyond academia, and a discussion of the 
       experience of teaching a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)
       about archaeology to over 40,000 students. This book 
       should be of interest to anyone who has wondered how and 
       why to write about archaeology for people other than 
       archaeologists. [Elib]
