| We all collected stones at some point – on the roadside, on a mountain trip or when bathing in the river. Both young and old have always been inspired and fascinated by stones. Still, we know very little about them. Millions of years of the Earth’s history can be traced back through the ancient history of stones. A short introduction to the world of rocks describes the particularly frequent stones of our region through short portraits so that even amateurs may recognize and distinguish them. But stones also inspire a sensual experience, contemplation, exploration and touch. They invite to play, to experiment and make up stories and open up ways to detect our own abilities and potential in a playful way, to try new ideas as well as unusual viewpoints and behaviour. A richly illustrated, vivid and diverse practical guide full of ideas and background information that familiarizes both children and adults with the world of rocks and inspires inventive and creative activity. Contents include 11 stone portraits Granite – basalt – rose quartz – rock crystal – lime stone –mudstone – fire stone – sandstone – gneiss – schist – marble Stony time travel Witnesses of Earth’s history Tracing stones: Play and learn with stones Tracing your own potential Moving stones: exercising creativity Inspiring one’s fantasy with stones Making up stone tales Inventive stones: Developing ideas with stones Developing stone games Systematic search for ideas Trying roles with stones Self-confident and sensitive: typically female - typically male Stone by stone: Experimenting with stones Stones in human cultural history Amazing and unknown facts on stones Exploring stones Living your life like in the Stone Age Visions: Getting the ball rolling Designing with stones Photos: Patrick Weyeneth |
