Pre-order Peter Stone's new book at SLT's Clambake!!
THE UNTOUCHABLE TREE
An Illustrated Guide to Earthly Wisdom & Arboreal Delights
by Peter C. Stone
The Untouchable Tree is about our connection to the magnificence, the transcendence, and the essential nature of trees. Throughout human history, they have served as shelter and as symbol. And today, more than ever, our destiny is tied to theirs.
In this book you'll find discussion of our exploitation of trees for material gain and declarations of our age-old love for woodlands, parks, and forests; reflections on a tree's life cycle; and the historical origins of various species. Sometimes soothing, sometimes haunting, his words and art reveal the many sides of trees with a vibrancy sure to leave a powerful impression long after the book is closed.
The Untouchable Tree is 192 pages and is illustrated with 30 color paintings. It will retail for $29.95, but will be available for pre-order at the clambake to SLT supporters. Please support both SLT and one of our local artists. For more information on Peter's work, visit Peter Stone Studios. | |
