Anthropology, archaeology, art, and architecture. If we were to reimagine these four A's as techniques for exploring the world, what kind of landscape would unfold? To that end, we'll try making stone tools, walk along the beach, and observe a single statue for a week. This is a book of cultural anthropological adventure from Ingold, who has been conducting such classes! How does being a disciple of cellist Rostropovich differ from "participant observation"? Why do stone axes produced from France to Africa have almost the same shape? How was the Gothic masterpiece, Chartres Cathedral, built without blueprints? There is design, and then there is a product. But are living things "designed"? What does it mean to be alive in this material world? How is it different from a kite being blown by the wind? From countless stimulating questions, Ingold discovers the fundamental conditions and possibilities of humanity. It's not about knowing, it's about becoming a hunter──. Only those who have spent time with "Making" will know its meaning!
