Surfaces by Joseph A Amato
Human beings are surrounded by surfaces: from our skin to faces, to the walls and streets of our homes and cities, to the images, books, and screens of our cultures and civilizations. This book traces the human relationship with surfaces from the deep history of human evolution, which unfolded across millennia, up to the contemporary world.
"Amato's creativity and breadth of analysis ensures Surfaces a prominent place in environmental history.. Highly recommended." -- J. P. Davis CHOICE "Amato presents a thoughtful and persuasive case about the omnipresent place, role, power and importance of surfaces." -- Robert Brusic Practical Thinking
