ANNUAL STONE N° 8

Place of Origin:
Israel
Given the increasing importance that the restoration of stone materials has taken on, this eighth volume of the collection begins with a study of the preliminary operations to be carried out. Starting from the analysis of the genesis of rock, the causes of the deterioration of stone are then listed from all chemical, physical and biological aspects, as well as regarding the choice of materials and the relative working methods.
The text was drawn up in a thorough yet simple and extremely clear manner. The technical part contains 16 drawings and 52 photographs. The second part presents high-definition photographs of 175 types of stone of Brazilian origin. The work carried out for the verification of all of the active quarries and the definition of the materials' commercial names was lengthy and complex.
The book has 243 illustrations and it consists of 216 pages. The publication was printed with the utmost care and definition using the four-colour process on bi-coated glossy paper.
