On the Rock: The Acropolis Interviews
"On the Rock: The Acropolis Interviews," the only existing first-person account of the Acropolis restoration project as told by the master marble sculptors whose hands and skills have brought the project to fruition, is a book of interviews and on-site photographs which contrasts discussion of technical aspects of their craft against the backdrop of the interviewees' experiences as workers and citizens living through the Greek economic and political crises.
