One thousand three hundred years ago Lichfield Cathedral stood at the centre of the Kingdom of Mercia; it stands still, spires reaching into the sky, at the heart of England; an abiding symbol of the impact Christianity has had on our heritage. Its history is as rich and intricate as its decoration: from St Chad's anointment as Bishop of Mercia in 669 to the damage wrought during the bloody English Civil War to its restoration to medieval glory in the nineteenth century by Sir George Gilbert Scott. Written by Dr Jonathan Foyle, the broadcaster, architectural historian and passionate advocate for heritage sites, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in Britain's great medieval architecture.Also available from Scala:Cathedrals of the Church of England ISBN 9781857599404

Today, as architecture is reasserting its role in popular culture, the architect Moshe Safdie's buildings are exemplars of what has been be termed 'progressive contextualism' - an important way of thinking globally about building.
Accompanying a traveling exhibition, Global Citizen: The Architecture of Moshe Safdie explores this renowned architect's buildings and the philosophy that shapes them. Safdie's canonical works combine the social activism and advanced technologies of modernism, with profound respect for historical and regional context. This elegantly designed book features stunning photography and essays examining Safdie's role in the move toward architectural globalization, as well as his use of architecture as a medium for political, religious and cultural agendas. The catalogue also features a unique illustrated essay by Safdie examining the architect's thoughts on the future of the global city at the start of the 21st century.
