The Song of the First World

This book chronicles my life in northern California and the story of the discovery of an unknown form of rock art here on our coast. Beginning with my early time here living and working and supporting the culture of our local indigenous people, the Kashia Pomo, the story soon takes you on a journey of discovery and research with a deep dive into the world of jade, rock art and ancient peoples. Filled with color images of beautiful and unique examples of the stones collected by the author for over three decades, the book is a gallery of these treasured stones and the unusual petroglyphic imagery they contain.
