Carl Waldman Boeken
Carl Waldman is de auteur van talrijke naslagwerken over Native Americans, waarin hij diep ingaat op de geschiedenis en culturen van de inheemse volkeren van het continent. Zijn schrijven verkent hun complexe verhalen en hun plaats binnen bredere historische contexten. Naast zijn gerichte studies heeft Waldman ook bijgedragen aan boeken over geschiedenis en populaire cultuur, en meegeschreven aan scenario's, wat getuigt van een veelzijdige interesse in storytelling over verschillende genres heen. Zijn debuutmysterie, Streetscape, markeert een nieuwe richting, waarbij hij waarschijnlijk zijn scherpe oog voor detail en personages benut.
