MARTIN, S. R. L., The Tiny and the Fragmented. Miniature, Broken, or Otherwise Incomplete Objects in the Ancient World. Oxford University Press, 2019. 248p. Hardback. This edited volume is a welcome and thought-provoking contribution to the literature on two important phenomena: miniaturization and fragmentation. ... This book will therefore be indispensable for anyone working on either of these themes in the future. And indeed, The Tiny and the Fragmented convincingly argues that most of us are in one way or another working on these themes (especially fragmentation), whether we realize it or not. ...The Tiny and the Fragmented is an important and timely contribution... In its interdisciplinary scope and willingness to ask new questions, the volume looks ahead to the future of multiple fields. And in its championing of forms of material culture whose historical, cultural, and theoretical importance is too often overlooked, this book reveals the power of the tiny and the fragmented to shape human experience.
