Description
Flint: A Lithic Love Letter by Joanne Bourne is a deeply personal tribute to this extraordinary 'biogenic' rock. For centuries, flint has been an integral part of human development, used as a building material, a weapon, and for protection against the elements. Bourne's love letter to flint explores its geological, architectural, and social history, tracing its use in ancient landscapes such as the North Downs. With a unique blend of science, poetry, history, and a profound love of landscape, this book invites readers to roam with her in search of flint's enduring presence. Through her heartfelt tribute, Bourne reveals the magic and significance of flint, a rock that has been shaped by three million years of human interaction.
