Krátky popis
A passionate and imaginative exploration of wood - the material
that shaped human history. As a material, wood has no equal in
strength, resilience, adaptability and availability. It has been
our partner in the cultural evolution from woodland foragers to
engineers of our own destiny.Tracing that partnership through
tools, devices, construction and artistic expression, Max Adams
explores the role that wood has played in our own history as an
imaginative, curious and resourceful species. Beginning with an
investigation of the material properties of various species of
wood, The Museum of the Wood Age investigates the influence of six
basic devices - wedge, inclined plane, screw, lever, wheel, axle
and pulley - and in so doing reveals the myriad ways in which wood
has been worked throughout human history. From the simple bivouacs
of hunter-gatherers to sophisticated wooden buildings such as stave
churches, from the decorative arts to the humble woodworking of
rustic furniture, Max Adams fashions a lattice of interconnected
stories and objects that trace a path of human ingenuity across
half a million years of history.
