About the Book

This beautiful and timely book arrives as the anxiety of our times causes many of us to wonder just how long our current monuments of stone will endure.--Ed Burtynsky

For thirty years, photographer Elaine Ling wandered through deserts, canyons and jungles across four continents gathering the mythology of stones. This book offers a stunning global view of a very unique presentation of natural and ancient stones, from the Joshua Tree to a Chinese tomb, from the ruins of Petra in Jordan to the junge of Myanmar, from Cappadocia to Australia's Kangaroo Island. Listen to the polyphonic voice of Talking Stones.
