Grays Harbor reigned supreme as the "Logging Capital of the World" for 150 years. Homesteaders became loggers and hired local Indians; who had logged the areas massive trees since ancient times. Sailors; too; were hired to rig spar trees. They fearlessly plied lumber schooners across destructive waters and carried timber products to the East Coast; South America; and other foreign ports. Over time; power saws replaced crosscut saws; and logging methods evolved. Today; loggers in Grays Harbor have begun a new phase of producing timber products that is built on a heritage of strong families; good citizens; and hard work.

Great for Artists; Different Learners; and Their AdmirersBy Jokie X WilsonThis is the most complete; clear; and concise book on this topic that I have found to date. The anecdotal evidence is thorough without dominating the text. The explanation of what synesthesia is and is not is superb. The discussion about artists is intelligent end never gets corny. The art supplied as examples is not so much a review of great masters; but some imagery that clearly illustrates the concepts. While the book reflects the limitations of what is currently known about synesthesia; it is as contemporary as anything else I have read. Its an up-to-date; great read that will leave you prepared for what may be discovered next with this fascinating phenomenon.Please see also my review of Synesthesia: Perspectives from Cognitive Neuroscience.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Interesting layout and information within.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. interesting...but slightly repetitiveBy Srinath RavichandranLiked the real life examples. Liked the comprehensive analysis. Liked the detailed description of theories to explain synesthesia. At times I found it a little repetitive though.Overall a good book to make the concept; nature of synesthesia less of a foreign topic to non synesthetes.
