The Architecture of Wales
Architecture reflects not only a nation's history, but also how its people lived, worked, prayed and fought over the centuries. Since the publication of John Hilling's The Historic Architecture of Wales in 1976, there has been no other attempt at addressing the architecture of Wales as a whole, and this revised book meets a long-felt need for a general survey of architecture in Wales. It covers two thousand years of architectural history, reflecting the nation's life from Roman times to the present century--less a revision of the original than a complete re-writing, taking into account recent research and recent buildings. The book is also illustrated with 268 color and black-and-white photographs, drawings, plans, and maps.

The Wooden Architecture of Northern Europe
This book explores the wealth of wooden architecture that is to be found in the Fennoscandian Peninsula. This distinct region, which includes Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Russian Republic of Karelia, was dominated by coniferous forest. Wood was seen as a living material - one that was permeated with myth and folklore - while the forest itself formed the background to everyday life. This is the first book to examine and record the distinctive wooden architecture of this region from the early medieval period to the early 20th century. Structured according to different wood types, it concentrates on domestic and religious buildings. It begins by setting out the geographical, social and historic background, before discussing the way in which two different timber-building traditions emerged in the region. It then provides a detailed examination of different types of dwellings. The book concludes by outlining the development of wooden domestic and religious buildings during the closing decades of the 19th century and the early years of the 20th century.
