A famously temperamental soccer star, OVIDIO ANGELETTI, has just suffered a terrible loss: Someone has stolen his favorite necklace. No ordinary piece of jewelry, this rhodochrosite had belonged to his birth mother, a woman he has never met. She had 'disappeared' during the famous Argentine dirty war of the nineteen-seventies. This superstar really wants it back. And he refuses to play soccer again until someone finds it. Enter AINSLEY WALKER, a gemstone detective who embarks on a journey into the brash heart of Argentinian futbol culture. Running from nightclubs in historic mansions to seedy tango parlors, from the impoverished shantytowns of Buenos Aires to the mountains of Patagonia... ...Ainsley discovers glamour, danger, excitement, and the dark secrets of a country's hidden past. It's a travel adventure that will change the way you see your life.

Mac guru Bill Atkinson shoots pictures of cut and polished rock slabs, transmuting them into masterpieces of "found" art with his high-resolution scanning camera and innovative color management techniques. For "Within the Stone," Atkinson picks 72 rock images for their evocative painterly qualities. Seven eminent poets and science writers, including Diane Ackerman and John Horgan, take turns responding to each image as a dream, landscape, seduction, or excogitative stimulus. In an appendix, three mineralogists describe each specimen's provenience, geological setting, and mineral composition. "A beautiful work of art." "Gems & Gemology." "Abstract masterpieces." "Popular Photography." "Revelations of the inner beauty of rocks." "PC Photo" "High tech meets timeless beauty." "Lapidary Journal." "Apple's soft ware star turns his code into art." "Macworld" Winner of 2004 Gold Ink Award, American Photo Best Photo Book of 2004
