From the jacket: "...Baltrusaitis creates a remarkable panorama of modern culture. He interweaves the rational with the fabulous--the fable of the beast in man, figurative images in stones, the forest in the Gothic edifice, and whole cultures in the garden--to reveal the ways in which natural phenomena have been read into cultural forms, and vice versa.
