Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Rock engravings are among the least known and most subtle examples of Australian art. This authoritative guide explains their historical and cultural significance, how they were made and used, and how to interpret them. Ritual use, carving methods, and engraving styles are discussed, as is the relationship of the engravings to the Dreaming. Many of the engravings are freely accessible in national parks, but are seldom visited or understood. The book provides practical information and maps, sketches and photographs of easily accessible sites in the Sydney area, which has more prehistoric rock art than any other city in the world. Sites in other areas of Australia are also listed. Burnum Burnum, in his preface, comments: I acknowledge Peter Stanbury and John Clegg as the foremost living authorities on these works. David Campbell's poetry adds another dimension to understanding these engravings. The book, which includes colour photographs and a bibliography, will be welcomed by Australians and tourists. These are USED books. Please only purchase if you are happy with that. Images & Editions We use stock images and database descriptions based on the ISBN.
