The Telling Image

“Lois Stark is an imaginative thinker—an insightful artist who takes the particular and makes it universal. She is an inspiring guide who discerns patterns and tells a compelling human story.”

—Edward Hirsch, poet, president, John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation

“Lois Stark’s committed intelligence brings pictures and stories to life and enables people to see and interpret the world with an enlightened perspective that is increasingly rare in this fragmented and scattered society. Watching her ‘connect the dots’ is a great learning experience. Stark brings words and pictures full of common sense but confronting the most complex challenges. She presents ideas of extraordinary value to artists, businessmen, and scientists.”

—Barry Munitz, former president and CEO, The J. Paul Getty Trust

 “Stark allows images to form their own story. This book will be a lot of fun. It will start conversations. It will delight both the eye and the mind.”

—John H Lienhard, commentator, National Public Radio; author, Engines of Our Ingenuity and Inventing Modern

“One of the ways to imagine the potential and scope of this project is to think of Lois Stark as a ‘Female Joseph Campbell.’ A book of great depth and originality.”

—Eli N. Evans, president emeritus, Charles H. Revson Foundation; steward and funder of PBS Projects

“Lois Stark has the skill to find order in the vast chaos of our collective history. This book is like donning an old pair of glasses to better see history unfolding before our eyes. It shows us the seeds of change now taking hold and critical clues marking civilization’s next step forward.”

—George Kaufman, vice-chairman, Omega Institute
