Synopsis
Churches and cathedrals, built to be intentionally imposing and dignified, contain a wealth of fascinating architectural detail and symbols to interpret. They reflect a magnificent vista of history across the centuries, and are an important part of our cultural make-up. Step inside a church and explore the extraordinary richness and diversity of the features that are in every church and cathedral, learn what they mean, and understand their significance to the building as a whole. Also explaining how to distinguish between Norman, gothic or classical style buildings, and relating influences on church architecture over time, the text gives a full picture of the history, architecture, meanings and messages of these important buildings. Take a tour of the tiny parish church or great cathedral and appreciate the layout and main features of the inside, as well as the design of the exterior. Become fluent in the language of churches and appreciate their beauty, variety and splendour in a new way. Wherever you go with this book in your hand, you will soon discover that there is always a great deal more to a church than just a building., Churches and cathedrals contain a wealth of fascinating architectural detail as well as symbols that are often hard to interpret. This insightful guide explores the extraordinary richness and diversity of features common to churches and cathedrals and explains their meaning as well as their significance to the building as a whole. The defining characteristics of key architectural eras over the centuries are also identified, including Norman, gothic, and classical. Whether a tiny parish church or a grand cathedral, this is the perfect resource for appreciating the traditions, meanings, and beauty of these important and sacred buildings.

    Great five-star service and communication from the seller. Great five-star item from the seller. Minus 100 stars for USPS, who had to deliver this package a total of 9.2 miles. Instead, USPS had this package travel 4,300 miles, as it was misdirected all across the country.

    The vinyl was packed with extreme care (bubble wrap, then cardboard on either side, then a buffer of newspaper around it in a box that was about an inch deep) and arrived in great condition. Everything was as described in the listing and the price was very good. I would buy vinyl from this seller again!

    Fast shipping, very well packaged. Seller shipped quickly, but USPS took 17 days to deliver. Not sellers fault. Good seller
