Book Description Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. This copy is in fine condition, bound in brown cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine The price clipped dust wrapper is almost imperceptively sunned to the spine. This copy is from the library of the late Sir Owen Aisher (1900-1993) who was the Chairman of Marley Ltd (1945-1982) and bears his signature to the front paste down. He inherited from his father the ability to read widely, urged on with such aphorisms as 'to read much is to learn much', 'to learn much is to know much' and 'knowledge is power'. The building industry plays a crucial role in the national economy, not only as a major direct contributor to gross national product, but also in its effect on a variety of areas from institutional finance to the DIY market, The nature of that impact from 1815 to the late 20th century is the theme of this deeply researched book, which examines and documents the interplay of new materials and technologies, costs and the changing social and economic forces that affected decision making over what kinds of buildings to construct - or indeed to knock down, in which locations, and when.

Book Description Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Slight shelf wear to edge of D/J. Slightly sunned spine to D/J. The building industry plaus a crucial role in the national economy, not only as a major direct contributor to gross national product, but also in its effects on a variety of areas from institutional finance to the DIY market. Successive modern governments have recognised this fact by using the industry as an economic regulator, but its importance was already becoming evident at the time of the industrial revolution and it made an extremely significant economic and social impact throughout the nineteenth century. The nature of that impact from 1815 to the present day is the theme of this deeply researched book, which examines and documents the interplay of new materials and technologies, costs and the changing social and economic forces that affected decision-making over what kinds of buildings to construct - or indeed to knock down - in which locations, and when. the author, an architect who is also a social historian, has used insights from both disciplines to produce a unique study of an aspect of history the importance of which is now increasingly recognised. Illustrated. 211 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
