Metals: physics, chemistry, history

This is a fresh and creative approach to present the masks humans wear for the last 30,000 years. The book tells about various ways we use masks. Made from wood, metal, wax, palm leaves and even human hair, here you can find ritual, stage and functional masks from all the continents. An anthropologist tells us all about them. The expressive and humorous drawings for this book were made by Alisa Yufa, a rising star of Russian book illustration.
