Though the natural world is filled with innumerable circles, it's amazing how unusual circular houses are, at least in industrialized society. But among native and nomadic peoples, round homes have, since the beginning of time immemorial, served to shelter families, echoing natural forms. David Pearson shows us how remarkable these homes are for their economy, resilience and portability. Beyond practicality, these structures have an incomparable spiritual resonance.
