This comprehensive, full-color guidebook describes all the architecturally significant buildings in Liverpool, the city selected as European Capital of Culture for 2008. The book includes suburban areas of interest and excursions to notable sites farther out. Major buildings―such as the Town Hall, St George’s Hall, and the two Cathedrals―receive extended treatment; the streets of the business district are dealt with alphabetically; and the rest of the city―including the docks―is covered in a series of carefully planned walks.Based on Nikolaus Pevsner’s original text for the Buildings of England, the book is augmented by close study of Liverpool’s buildings themselves and by extensive new research. It is an authoritative work of reference as well as a practical handbook for visitors and residents walking in the city.

The second of two books exploring the buildings of the north-east of Scotland, this volume surveys Aberdeen – the nation’s third-largest city – and the southern area of Aberdeenshire, including the former county of Kincardineshire. Among Aberdeen’s architectural highlights are the great medieval cathedral and burgh church of St Nicholas, the buildings of King’s College, and magnificent civic, commercial and domestic buildings of the Victorian and Edwardian age. In addition, the book showcases not only Aberdeenshire’s greatest houses and castles including Crathes, Craigievar and Balmoral, the royal family’s Scottish estate, but also buildings and monuments as varied in scale and type as prehistoric hillforts, Georgian town houses, rural churches, fishing lodges and textile mills.   Both volumes are comprehensively illustrated with specially commissioned colour photography.

<p>One of the most important figures in the history of twentieth-century architecture in Britain, Professor [Sir] Charles Reilly dominated architectural education and had profound influences on architectural practice. This book, produced as the catalogue of an exhibition on Reilly’s life and work, also stands as an illustrated history in its own right; it includes discussion of the work of some of Reilly’s outstanding and well-known students.</p>

The vast trade which passed through Liverpool’s historic docks was managed and organised in an increasingly specialised and sophisticated business district. New and ever-larger offices, banks, warehouses and salerooms, often innovative in design and of spectacular architectural quality, were built in a highly concentrated area, which powerfully represents the confidence and prosperity of the period. This book, attractively illustrated by photographs and drawings, tells the story of the business quarter from the 18th century to the present day and emphasises that conservation of historic commercial buildings is important in retaining the area’s distinctive character.
