Author: Pohribny, Jan

This book documents in evocative photographs the ancient European obsession with stone. From sunny Malta to icy Finland, stone has been used to house the living and the dead, as a canvas for art, to celebrate the heavens, and for other purposes beyond our understanding today. Following an authoritative introduction by archaeologist Julian Richards, author - photographer Jan Pohribny explores these stones in their landscape, as part of nature, and as a powerful reminder that after thousands of years, they still resonate with magic and mystery. 304 pp. October.
