Celebrating for the first time the raw materials that have been employed throughout history to form Scotland's buildings and landmarks, this visually impressive study explains why Scotland's traditionally built environment draws visitors from around the world, and offers inhabitants a sense of place and identity. With experts providing discussion on the scope of materials used?including stone, timber, iron, clay, and slate?the socioeconomic stories behind the materials, how they have been utilized over time, and the geographical variations throughout the country, this extensively photographed and informative account highlights some of Scotland's most unique and cherished historical features.

hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
