Syria's Monuments: their Survival and Destruction examines the fate
of the various monuments in Syria (including present-day Lebanon,
Jordan and Palestine/Israel) from Late Antiquity to the fall of the
Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century. It examines travellers'
accounts, mainly from the 17th to 19th centuries, which describe
religious buildings and housing in numbers and quality unknown
elsewhere. The book charts the reasons why monuments lived or died,
varying from earthquakes and desertification to neglect and re-use,
and sets the political and social context for the Empire's
transformation toward a modern state, provoked by Western trade and
example. An epilogue assesses the impact of the recent civil war on
the state of the monuments, and strategies for their resurrection,
with plentiful references and web links.
