Images of animals, shamans, and puzzling abstract forms were pecked and painted on stone over thousands of years by a now long-gone culture. \u003ci\u003eTalking Stone: Rock Art of the Cosos\u003c\/i\u003e is a multivocal investigation of this art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcclaimed cinematographer Paul Goldsmith takes the reader on a visual journey through this limited access area with more than 160 stunning color photographs.
