Summary

Stone Age Skills explores the fascinating world of prehistoric stone tool production, revealing how early humans transformed raw stone into essential tools that shaped their survival and cultural development. The book meticulously analyzes the lithic reduction sequences, the step-by-step process of creating tools, and investigates the cognitive demands involved, such as planning and spatial reasoning. This reveals the profound connection between human intellect, physical skill, and the material world during the Stone Age, highlighting the ingenuity of our ancestors.

 
The book uniquely combines traditional archaeological analysis with experimental replication, offering readers a hands-on understanding of knapping techniques. Starting with the basic principles of stone tool analysis, it progresses through detailed descriptions of various lithic reduction methods used to create different tool types. Experimental chapters provide direct insights into the physical demands of tool-making, culminating in an analysis of the cognitive skills required. The book's approach allows you to "re-think" the development of technology.

 
Drawing upon decades of research, Stone Age Skills presents detailed analyses of stone tool assemblages from key archaeological sites, complemented by experimental knapping projects. The book makes interdisciplinary connections with cognitive science, geological sciences, and paleoanthropology, providing a comprehensive overview of stone working techniques and offering new perspectives on the evolution of human technology.

    From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Care of the Soul comes a revelatory approach to healing and renewal. 
 
Among the pages of Henry David Thoreau’s journals and his legendary Walden, Thomas Moore, beloved bestselling author, psychotherapist, and public thinker, has found transformative ideas and approaches that promise to help us live better. As Moore writes, “We need to make the journey to our own ‘Walden Pond’ and find a cure for our cultural lostness.” 
 
Like Moore’s own million-copy-bestselling Care of the Soul, The Cure at Walden Pond will be widely heralded among readers for its beautiful prose, accessible voice, and profound insights into the human condition. 
 
Thoreau was disillusioned in his day by the same kind of frantic consumerism, round-the-clock work, and narrow imagination that trouble us today. Moore will help readers slow down, be more present and mindful in their relationships with their loved ones, and appreciate the beautiful world we share. For Moore, as for Thoreau, there is immense spiritual power all around us. 
 
New Hampshire’s Mount Monadnock is a “natural temple” for all New Englanders, a place of reverence and renewal, and Moore encourages us to find our own places of rejuvenation. There is neglected spirituality—and humanity—in the everyday objects that sustain us too. Moore explores his own memories of an old farmhouse, a grinding stone, and an out-of-tune piano that bring him back to his childhood and his family history. 
 
The journey to Walden Pond is an essential American pilgrimage, and The Cure at Walden Pond embodies Thoreau’s essence, guiding us through Thoreau’s precepts so we can find more harmony in our communities and in ourselves. Immersing ourselves in the music of the natural world The Cure at Walden Pond is a resonate read that will move and inspire any one in search of a new way of being.

    In this 2023 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, Ellen Dee Davidson explores what it means to be in conversation with trees. Davidson hikes into an ancient redwood forest on a regular basis and practices “forest bathing”. She reminds us that when we are not bombarded with the noise, bright lights, and electromagnetic fields of a city our nervous system calms down and we open up to a wider field of perception. 
Davidson is an advocate for the health of forests. Besides her memoir, she’s the author of a number of children's books. She has worked as an elementary, piano, and creative writing teacher and raised two daughters. She lives with her husband in the redwoods of northern California where she regularly sits with trees in a form of “forest bathing”.
