Krátky popis
From the hematite used in cave paintings to the moldavite that
became a TikTok sensation, from the stolen sandstone of Scone to
the unexpected acoustics of Stonehenge, from crystal balls to
compasses, rocks and minerals have always been central to our
story. 3,000 years ago Babylonians constructed lapidaries - books
that tried to pin down the magical secrets of rocks. In Lapidarium,
renowned art critic Hettie Judah explores the unexpected stories
behind sixty stones that have shaped and inspired human history,
from Dorset fossil-hunters to Chinese philosophers, Catherine the
Great to Michelangelo.Discover why alchemists sought cinnabar and
sulphur. Unearth the mystery of the tuff statues of Rapa Nui, the
lost amber room of Frederick of Prussia and the scandal of Flint
Jack. Find out how a Greek monster created coral, moon rock
explains the history of Earth's only satellite and obsidian
inspired the world's favourite computer game.Stone by stone, story
by fascinating story, Lapidarium builds into a dazzling,
epoch-spanning adventure through human culture, and beyond.
