Book Description
The known history of ceramics is over 30,000 years old. The outcome of man's discovery of the properties of fired clay opened a technological portal that remains open today. Acknowledging there are many excellent books on ceramics, Palul has written a series of short stories in a historical novel format, showing unique characters actually experiencing clay in their lives - making discoveries and technical advances, creating objects in their times and places - a book that is not only technically informative, but educational and interesting to read as well. Palul draws on 50 years experience as a ceramic artist and 35 years teaching the subject for Shasta College in Redding, California. Book 1 of the series covers three major clay discoveries during prehistoric times between 30,000 and 9,000 BC.

Book Description
Starting with the basic question, What is pottery?, this work investigates why and how ceramics have been made throughout the world ever since humans first began manipulating clay during the Stone Age, over 12,000 years ago. Drawing on the ceramic collections of the British Museum, and the work of its scientific staff, 25 contributors examine the evidence for more than 30 pottery traditions. These range from prehistoric Japan, ancient Egypt, and pre-Hispanic Peru through classical Greece, Ming China and medieval and Renaissance Europe, right up to contemporary Africa and India.
