Content:
The book describes all aspects of the intimate relations between man and stone, from the dawn of civilization to the present day. It explains why certain types of rocks were chosen, and, how they were utilized and processed by man. The evolution from primitive artefacts up to astonishing stone architecture is examined in detail. The role of stone in modern society is analysed. The volume is richly illustrated and offers many examples of natural stones, stone weapons, amulets, dwellings, temples, and cities, not only from Czechoslovakia, but from the whole world.
