What are the relationships between McGuire's A Marxist Archaeology (1992) and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (Persig 1974). If you like the conjunction of paradigms from philosophy and psychology, reflections upon science and the humanities, refreshing reconsiderations of the processual and post-processual debates, and mental gymnastics, you will undoubtedly enjoy a majority of the essays found in this unique book.
