"Twelve peer-reviewed papers demonstrate the continuing advancement in the understanding of dimension stone used in building construction. Topics cover: Strength Testing--addresses testing to determine strength characteristics of dimension stone cladding panels. Design--covers a wide range of topics, including the advantages and disadvantages of three common dimension stone paving installation techniques; the relationships between stone material strength, anchorage strength, and induced stress states for four common dimension stone cladding anchorage configurations; and more. Evaluation and Investigation--provides observations regarding investigations into the causes of dimension stone cladding deterioration and failure. Durability--discusses the complex issue of dimension stone durability using three different approaches; a large-scale European research project to investigate the causes of marble and limestone cladding panel bowing, develop preconstruction testing parameters to assess bowing potential, and assess proposed remedial efforts to reduce or inhibit ongoing bowing; and more."--Publisher's website.

""The Timeless Tapestry of Stone: Beauty, Function, and Conservation"" offers a comprehensive exploration of stones, weaving together their aesthetic value, practical applications, and the urgent need for conservation. This interdisciplinary work traces humanity's relationship with stones from prehistoric tools to modern engineering marvels, highlighting their significance in art, industry, and environmental sustainability. The book presents stones not as inert objects, but as dynamic elements connecting us to Earth's history and human creativity. Structured to guide readers through a logical progression, the book begins with fundamental stone properties before delving into their roles in art, architecture, and mechanical engineering. It culminates in a discussion of conservation efforts and sustainable stone utilization. What sets this work apart is its holistic approach, bridging fields such as geology, anthropology, and environmental science to offer a unique perspective on how stones intersect with human culture and technology. The author draws upon a wide range of evidence, including geological data and cutting-edge materials science research, to support its arguments. Balancing academic rigor with accessibility, ""The Timeless Tapestry of Stone"" appeals to both specialists and general readers interested in natural history, engineering, or environmental issues. It offers practical knowledge for artisans and designers while providing theoretical insights for students and professionals in geology and environmental studies. By interweaving scientific knowledge, cultural insights, and practical wisdom, the book invites readers to see stones as bridges connecting our past, present, and future.

This introduction to historic preservation goes well beyond the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and shows how wood, stone, masonry, and metal were used in the past and how adaptive re-use can be employed to bring modern amenities to historic structures. The book covers all aspects of the exterior and interior building fabric, including windows, roofing, doors, porches, and electrical and mechanical systems for both residential and small-scale commercial buildings. Richly illustrated with photographs showing typical elements of historic buildings, decay mechanisms, and remediation techniques, the book also contains a variety of useful case studies and features a companion Website that offers dozens of additional images and resources.
