Art meets science in *Book of Earth*, Heidi Gustafson's guide to creating color with Earth's natural pigments. Drawing from her archive of over 600 pigments, Gustafson blends anthropology, art history, and practical technique—teaching you how to extract and apply pigments while exploring their cultural significance across time and place. Featuring hands-on methods, stunning photography, and contributor essays on color's meaning in different cultures, this book is both a celebration of nature's palette and a working toolkit for artists, designers, and anyone seeking authentic color in its most elemental form.
