But rarely is that history explored. In this book, instead of breaking an object apart to reveal those stories, they are told by building the object a guitar named \u003ci\u003eStoryteller\u003c\/i\u003e from scratch. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe text and illustrations reveal the rich lives of the people, places, and projects that breathed life into it. The stories range from people who were pioneers in landscape restoration to those involved with automobile manufacturing. The places include the high arctic, tropical forests, and vertical cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment. The projects include stage plays, laser physics and the establishment of the first Canadian diamond mines.
