Notă biografică

Stephen Hart was for many years a practising architect in eastern England, and he has built up his remarkable and very detailed knowledge of architecture in flint and the many other materials that are combined with it, over a long period. His penetrating descriptions and analysis are the product of a lifetime's experience with and observation of buildings. He is past chairman of the Men of the Stones, a society devoted to encouraging the use of natural materials, which celebrated its 50th anniversary during his chairmanship. He is also a regular contributor to the magazine of the Round Tower Churches Society.

Recenzii

'...[a] truly wonderful book...delightful and imaginative, as well as scholarly, comprehensive and useful...' Norman Scarfe, author of Faber Shell Guide to Suffolk 'This important and comprehensive book...is a richly rewarding [one] to read and study. To those unfamiliar with flint architecture, the discovery of the subtlety and sophistication of the techniques and designs of the flint tradition will be a revelation...The depth of the author's study, research and knowledge of flint is very impressive and the book is destined to become a standard work on the subject.'
