Book description: Counterpoint, 2004. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. In this personal narrative, naturalist and essayist Turner recounts his experiences examining 32,000 year-old paintings and engravings in the caves and prehistoric shelters of France and Spain. As he searches for the origins of human artistic expression, he makes connections with events both past and present and draws conclusions about what is most enduring in the human spirit. With references to the ideas of thinkers such as Keats, Thoreau, and Rilke, the text focuses on Turner's interior journey and is not intended as a guide to the caves or an anthropological study.
