A passionate and imaginative exploration of wood – the material
that shaped human history. Wood – humankind's long-term partner
in our evolution from woodland foragers to engineers of our own
destiny – has no equal in strength, resilience, adaptability and
availability. The Museum of the Wood Age investigates the influence
of basic devices – wedge, inclined plane, screw, lever, wheel,
axle and pulley – to reveal the myriad ways in which wood has
been worked throughout human history. From the simple bivouacs of
hunter-gatherers to sophisticated wooden buildings such as stave
churches; from the decorative arts to the humble woodworking of
rustic furniture; Max Adams fashions a lattice of interconnected
stories and objects that trace a path of human ingenuity across
half a million years of history.
