Until the book is uploaded, you might enjoy looking at web pages that feature some of the craftspeople in the book. Crafts are traditionally divided into five categories: clay,
fiber, glass,
metal, and wood.
Some of the crafts are difficult to place, for example beadworking in Cameroon, where
gourds, jewelry, wooden stools, sculptures, flywhisks, toys, baskets,
and sculptures are some of the items that are covered with beads.
Stone and bone carving do not seem to fit either.
Those were put in the "other" category.
