Book itself is in new condition, however the dust cover has a Taped Tear on back cover.  2019 ISBN 9781526736871  Synopsis " Medieval to Post-Modern Fortification in the Lands of the Former Roman Empire.  Quite a number of images.  It traces the advances made between the twelfth and the fifteenth centuries, looking in particular at the form these fortifications took in contexts as different as Italy, Wales, France and the Iberian peninsula. Many would regard this period in the history of castles as the classic age."

Pioneers of Modern Design 
by Nikolaus Pevsner 

paperback in used condition

"Moving from William Morris to Walter Gropius, taking in artists and architects from Britain, Europe and the USA, the author shows how the foundation of the best that remains today was laid by a small group of people who thought and taught as well as designed. First published in 1936 and twice revised since then, this survey explores a period of major, exciting transition away from stale Victorian historicism to the 20th century and our modern machine age."

Pioneers of Modern Design by Nikolaus Pevsner

by Richard Stemp. Very Good condition.  Some slight knicks  (158/137) Synopsis "Decoding the Sacred Symbolism of Christianity's Holy Buildings.  Who is depicted in that stained glass window? What is the significance of those geometric figures? Why are there fierce-looking beasts carved amidst all that beauty? Is there a deeper purpose behind the play of light and space in the nave? Why is there a pelican on the lectern and ornate foliage on the pillars? The largely illiterate medieval audience could read the symbols of churches and cathedrals and recognise the meanings and stories deliberately encoded into them. For worshippers these were places of religious education and an awe-inspiring feast that satisfied both the senses and the soul. Today, in an age less attuned to iconography, such places of worship are often seen merely as magnificent works of architecture. This book restores the lost spiritual meaning of these fine and fascinating buildings.
