MONUMENTAL: GREAT BUILDINGS OF THE WORLD/ STONEMASON (HB)

One of the world’s most eminent stonemasons and conservators, Simon Warrack has worked in more than thirty different countries and with all major religions. In this book, he explores ten places where he has learnt and plied his trade. From the Trevi Fountain to Angkor Wat, via Great Zimbabwe, Canterbury Cathedral and more, he takes us to some of the greatest buildings and monuments in the world. Everywhere he goes, despite vast cultural diversity, he finds a communality through stone – a shared desire to conserve and maintain heritage that has spanned continents, cultures and millennia.
