Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people do not think to observe geology from the sidewalks of a major city, but all David B. Williams has to do is look at building stone in any urban center to find a range of rocks equal to any assembled by plate tectonics. In Stories in Stone, he takes you on explorations to find 3.5-billion-year-old rock that looks like swirled pink-and-black taffy, a gas station made of petrified wood, and a Florida fort that has withstood three hundred years of attacks and hurricanes, despite being made of a stone that has the consistency of a granola bar. Williams also weaves in the cultural history of stone, explaining why a white fossil-rich limestone from Indiana became the only building stone used in all fifty states; how in 1825, the construction of the Bunker Hill Monument led to America’s first commercial railroad; and why when the same kind of marble used by Michelangelo clad a Chicago skyscraper it warped so much after nineteen years that all 44,000 panels of it had to be replaced. This love letter to building stone brings to life the geology you can see in the structures of every city.

Book excerpt: From the acclaimed author of Floating in My Mother’s Palm and Children and Fire, a stunning story about ordinary people living in extraordinary times—“epic, daring, magnificent, the product of a defining and mesmerizing vision” (Los Angeles Times). Trudi Montag is a Zwerg—a dwarf—short, undesirable, different, the voice of anyone who has ever tried to fit in. Eventually she learns that being different is a secret that all humans share—from her mother who flees into madness, to her friend Georg whose parents pretend he’s a girl, to the Jews Trudi harbors in her cellar. Ursula Hegi brings us a timeless and unforgettable story in Trudi and a small town, weaving together a profound tapestry of emotional power, humanity, and truth.

Book excerpt: A Guide to Inspire Creativity and Storytelling Through Nature by Diana Suskind with LeahCrandallPhotography and Paintings by Diana Suskindwith Illustrations by Peter H. Reynolds Stonework Play is an open-ended response to the invitation to work and play with stones. Stones are a kinesthetic medium, never fixed in their place or meaning, the ground an endless canvas and small hands the brushes that move them. Stonework Play is also a how-to book that guides its audience through predictable steps for telling stories with stones. It also recounts a history, beginning with its conception in Nepal. It includes selected stories of children working with the natural world of stones, and champions nature as an important resource for today¿s youth. Written in storybook style to appeal to all ages, this book delves briefly into pedagogy to complete an adult understanding. Stonework Play, your stepping-stone to a great natural adventure! Reviews I am grateful to Diana Suskind who started Stonework Play at HEMS School, Kathmandu, and explores the idea all over the globe. It is amazing how it benefits modern lifestyle. Since the era of Kishna, Rama and Buddha, everyone learns from stone¿ Diana inspires us to search such beauty of creation from a single stone. I love Diana and her work as `stone lady¿ Suresh Bhatta, Education Diplomat for HEMS School, Kathmandu, Nepal It is lovely to see the universality of simple, natural resources¿Children respond to natural resources so well¿stones have the history of the planet locked inside of them¿ and, like all good loose parts, they are open to any interpretation. Michael Follett, Director of Outdoor Play and Learning CIC, Bristol, England Works magically with all ages. Thank you Diana for creating an activity which¿ combines tactile connection with our earth, and quiet, thoughtful moments.

Book excerpt: Brilliant photographs of scholars' rocks, or Chinese ornamental stones, from a leading collection Shaped by nature and selected by man, scholars' rocks, or gongshi, have been prized by Chinese intellectuals since the Tang dynasty, and are now sought after by Western collectors as well. They are a natural subject for the photographer Jonathan Singer, most recently acclaimed for his images of those other remarkable hybrids of art and nature, Japanese bonsai. Here Singer turns his lens on some 150 fine gongshi, ancient and modern, from the world-class collection of Kemin Hu, a recognized authority on this art form. In his photographs, Singer captures the spiritual qualities of these stones as never thought possible in two dimensions; he shows us that scholars' rocks truly are, in Hu's words, "condensations of the vital essence and energy of heaven and earth." Hu contributes an introductory essay on the history and aesthetics of scholars' rocks, explaining the traditional terms of stone appreciation, such as shou (thin), zhou (wrinkled), lou (channels), and tou (holes). She also provides a narrative caption for each stone, describing its history and characteristics.
