Introduction : Making materials matter -- Forming materials -- Animal materials -- The mutability of stone -- Material worlds -- Conclusion : Substantial transformations.
This title develops a systematic approach to materials at a time when there has been a call for a greater focus on materials in material culture studies. It establishes a new perspective on the meaning and significance of materials, particularly those involved in mundane, daily usage.
