The Longbow, The Schooner & The Violin: Wood And Human Achievement

Wood has been an essential companion to human development, taking us from hunter to industrialist. Three of our most profound inventions are a testament to how wood has been used as both an indispensable tool and as the raw material for the pinnacle of human craftsmanship: the English and Welsh longbow, the Atlantic schooner, and the violin are artifacts of remarkable sophistication and complexity. With these three creations as his starting point, award-winning author Marq de Villiers tells the epic story of our relationship with wood over thousands of years and illuminates how it has been key to our innovation, creativity, and potential.
