One of the problems which beset the practical conservation of stone
buildings is the fragmentation of the disciplines involved. This
book, with both volumes now available as one invaluable paperback,
brings these disciplines together by the involvement of
contributors with different experiences and approaches to the same
material.
Part one is an introduction to the complexities and background
history of stone conservation followed by the most comprehensive
description yet produced of the building and decorative stones used
in the British Isles.
In part two, practitioners involved in stone conservation describe
ways in which major structural masonry problems, secondary building
problems and different stone surface conditions may be treated. A
variety of building types and environments has been used to ensure
that the broad scope of common problems is covered. This second
part of the book will be of practical value to art historians,
archaeologists, architects, surveyors and engineers, masonry
contractors and sculpture conservators in solving problems and in
learning to use each other's skills and experience.
Highly illustrated
Two informative volumes brought together in a new paperback
