Description

Six thousand years ago, people living in the southern Levant moved from small, autonomous village lifestyles to complex social structures with innovations and products that remain today. Humans discovered how to irrigate the desert and grow fruit crops, and transform copper ore into a useable metal, for the first time. Pairing this with their artistic genius, people of the Chalcolithic period, or Copper Age, created stunning symbols of rank and power - metal standards, crowns and mace heads - and utilitarian objects unearthed by archaeologists in the Cave of the Treasure and other sites. Thomas Levy's adventurous journey with a team of international scientists to re-create the copper smelting processes used by our inventive ancestors is the highlight of this fascinating book.

Description

Two men: Bren and James - one born in a thatch-roofed crannog during the late Bronze Age; the other growing up in a working-class suburb of Melbourne during the twentieth century. In their separate times they both discover the same mysterious well - a holy well - hidden in the countryside of the Scottish Highlands. And although they remain thousands of years apart, they are drawn together by the wisdom and healing provided by this ancient artifact of the land .. and the glimpses it gives of a higher reality. In this, his second novel, Colin Macpherson takes the reader on a personal journey through the lives of two people from vastly different eras who are both touched by the same mystical experience.
