Listening to Stone: Hardy Structures, Perilous Follies, and Other Tangles with Nature
by: Dan Snow

Hardcover. NY, Artisan, 1st, 2008, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. 145 pages. A master craftsman provides timeless wisdom from working with stone. Beautifully illustrated with color and black and white photographs from the work-field. In his highly anticipated second book, Vermonter Dan Snow once again proves that he is not just one of America's premier artisans, but also one of our most articulate voices on the natural world and our relationship to it. Snow's medium is stone: He is the nation's premier drystone wall builder. Schooled in this ancient craft, he painstakingly creates structures as breathtaking as sculpture with nothing but gravity as their glue. In Listening to Stone, Peter Mauss's tactile photographs of Snow's artistry are matched by the artisan's quietly compelling prose. Clean, bright copy.
