Exploring a wide range of relationships with light from Paleolithic to Roman times, this book explores individual light-experiences. Compelled to discover the significance of these and express this, weaving thread by interpretive thread of meaning into cords of core light-experience according to individual needs and desires, various figures give us their testimonies. And the wondrous variety of their encounters has yielded a richly layered tapestry of human experience. One revealing a central dimension of environmental-cultural history. By its broad scope and interdisciplinary approach, this book expands our consciousness of what it is to be human in relation to the world.
Industry Reviews
A lyrical journey on a sunbeam, David S. Herrstrom's volume is short but ambitious. . . . Herrstrom's small poetic book is really something of a delight to read. It is in his Introduction that he is at his best, this is where his warm enthusiasm for the topic shines forth, nearly in John's rhetoric of light.
