Wood And Wood Grains

"Mr Brodatz has taken his camera and explored dozens of trees, their annual rings, bark and shapes; sawed logs, piled up, stacked, made into beams, barges, wharfs, and fences; and slices of wood cross-sectioned under magnifying lenses to discover these superbly rich textures and hidden motifs. The more than 100 often startling, black and white plates he has produced are the basis of this book." -back cover.
