Paperback. In January 2014 the author was informed that he had cancer. This book is not about death, but about what it means to be human.

It is also about why the cave painters 40,000 years ago chose the very darkest places for their fascinating pictures. Translator(s): Thompson, Laurie. Num Pages: 320 pages.
