Considered to be the classic introduction to the subject, this third edition has been carefully revised and updated to take account of the developments in the subject, and includes an extensive newly compiled bibliography and twice the number of illustrations as in previous editions.
Even at a distance of nearly fifty years, still a tour-de-force! From the generous tone, to the immense knowledge so easily written down, this book is a joy, and an inspiration. That's the intent, on my part, anyway.
