"The worked stone structures and natural formations presented here capture the unique ideas, shared social and aesthetic values, and religious beliefs of which they are a reflection. In stone we see both the continuum of time, place, nature, and culture and their transience." "Photographer David Scheinbaum's exploration of stone spans the period 1994 to the present and circumnavigates the globe. Not a compendium of famous sites, this is an evocation of the inherent power of stone in its metaphorical, symbolic meanings, its aesthetic expressiveness, its embrace of geological time and reflection of fleeting impermanence."
"Archaeologist Jo Anne Van Tilburg, a leading expert on Easter Island, contributes a far-reaching essay on stone's power to shape culture and to embody the ideas, values, and beliefs of those who work its surfaces."--Jacket.
