Book excerpt: Australian physicist and photographer, Peter Elliston, packed his cumbersome camera and travelled over many years to eighteen countries on four continents seeking out and photographing petroglyphs and pictographs, standing stones, monuments, and ancient ruins. In this book, each photograph is accompanied by commentary by Elliston on the historical importance of each of the sites, or by accounts by the nineteenth century archaeologists and explorers who first discovered many of these places. The combination of photographs and writing provide an extremely rich experience. An enduring curiosity about our past has led Peter Elliston to locate, research, decode, and record the historically significant visual and textual information found in 'Stones and Marks'. Ellistons exquisite photographs are powerfully combined with his scholarly writing.
