Laminated wrappers, 8vo, 22 cm, x, 205, [1] pp, numerous ills. From the blurb - "The full impact of this book can only be appreciated when we realise that its lessons could apply not only to Oxford but to almost every town, village and city in Britain. Oxford is a national treasure. It is also an architectural jewel in the European context, and, in this shrinking world, must be of global importance. The text and pictures of this book describe in detail the gradual erosion of the physical fabric of one of Britain's major historic cities, and serve as a warning of what might happen in the future. The lessons of the Erosion of Oxford are applicable to many historic centres, and must be learned if anything of worth is to survive for future generations to enjoy. The message of this profusely illustrated and passionately argued book must be understood by the nation and by the world if the insidious process of the erosion of our heritage is to be stopped. The damage to Oxford in the last half-century has been colossal. A nation or a society that destroys its true inheritance of capital from the past need expect no glorious or even civilised future. Mr Curl's book is both a warning and a record. It is a book for all who care about the environment in Britain. The fact that it is about Oxford, one of Europe's finest cities, should alarm and alert everyone to the dangers that threaten our heritage." Very Good. Seller Inventory # ABE-59225
