This unusual and captivating book brings together the most astonishing professions, rare, nearly extinct crafts, and rituals. Eliot Stine traveled across five continents and found them: the keepers of incredible ancient knowledge—true eccentrics who can do what no one else can. Among them are culinary geniuses from Japan and Italy, unwilling to reveal the secrets of their delicious dishes; Indian artisans creating magical metal mirrors; the last poster artists in Taiwan, hand-painting movie posters; English beekeepers who know special words for bees; Peruvian highlanders weaving grass bridges…

This book transports us through space and time to show how amazing, beautiful, and diverse culture is. And how important it is to be part of something that is passed down from generation to generation, carefully and with love for people.
