Previously issued in 1981, this book examines the wooden church
architecture of Eastern Europe. Eastern Europe is the principal
refuge of styles and techniques of 'solid' timber and log building
which were once far more widespread. These same building methods
were once well known in central Europe too but the increasing
scarcity of forest resources prompted the development of
timber-framing or half-timbering as a more economical alternative.
This system exerted an influence over wide areas of eastern Europe,
and Mr Buxton devotes some space to a consideration of it, but the
bulk of the book is concerned with churches built basically in
solid timber, though with many refinements and embellishments. The
author attempts to show the origin and relationship of the numerous
regional styles with notes on their geographical and historical
setting. He spent a number of years travelling in eastern Europe
gathering material and taking a great many photographs some of
which are included in the book; there are also plans and sections
of all principal church-types. There are two appendixes: in the
first Mr Buxton discusses the relationship between the wooden
styles presented here and the American log cabin; the second
describes the wooden synagogues of eastern Poland, all tragically
lost in the last war.
The farm ruminant industry, which is at the core of livestock
agriculture in Europe and the rest of the world, suffers major
economic loss every year due to reproductive dysgenesis. Protozoal
diseases cause abortion in ruminants and therefore its diagnosis is
vital in improving the health and welfare of farm livestock. This
book is a collective effort from international scientists involved
in an EU COST Action. Carefully selected methodologies, presented
in a simple and practical form, means laboratories can carry their
research out with precision.
