Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Illus. With Photos (illustrator). David Craig writes in his preface: 'Wild rocks have occupied a deep space in my mind since my memory began.Rock has always seemed to me the most real stuff on earth. From the ancient understanding ruggedness of those granite crags of my Scottish birthplace to the gorgeous sophistication of Sigiriya, rock came for me to be the chief thing in nature. So I set out to visit as many as I could all over the world, to touch them, climb them and walk around them, and find out what they meant.Some outcrops are famous - these days the image of Uluru (Ayers Rock) is almost as familiar as St Paul's Cathedral. Some have been noticed by only few people from outside their own place, such as the 400 metre North Wall of the Blouberg in the Transvaal, which looks across the Limpopo to Zimbabwe. Some are colossal, like Gibraltar.Some are lowly but pregnant, like the outcrop of Dunadd in Kintyre with its footprints where the kings of Dalriada stood to be crowned. At Ewaninga, I saw an emu footprint pecked out on a slab of red rock.this is the start of writing, only one remove from prints left spontaneously in the ancient mud - the dinosaur footprints I saw west of Tuba City in Arizona, or the footsteps left by Palaelithic poeple in the estuary of the Usk. '. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
