Conservation of Building & Decorative Stone
by
John Ashurst and Francis G. Dimes
1998,
468 pp.
One of the problems which beset the practical conservation of stone buildings
is the fragmentation of the disciplines involved. This book, with both volumes
now available as one invaluable paperback (first published in 1990 in two
volumes), brings these disciplines together by the involvement of
contributors with different experiences and approaches to the same materials.
The first part serves as an introduction to the complexities and background
history of stone conservation, followed by a comprehensive description of
both building and decorative stone used in the British Isles. The second part then details methods
of treatment for major structural masonry problems, secondary building
problems, and different stone conditions. Paperback.
