COOK, CHRIS

An invaluable work of reference, which enables the reader to ascertain quickly what was happening in any or all of the arts at a given time and place from 500 AD to the present. 'The late Dr Steinberg described civilisation as 'a co-operative achievement and common heritage'. This book demonstrates the truth of that statement. It is also a heartening work to appear in a decade when we are more often confronted by the works of Destructive Man.' C.V.Wedgewood
