Its effect on the progress of civilization has been profound. It has played a crucial role in the development of the culinary arts, the rise of international trade, the invention of writing, and -- not least of all -- the construction of towns and cities. Even after thirty thousand years, clay continues to play a vital role in our everyday lives and the advancement of civilization. Its history is the story of the human race. - Jacket flap.
