Buckinghamshire Pevsner Architectural Guide, in a series of publications begun with the express aim of providing up-to-date guides to the most significant buildings in every part of the country, suitable for both general reader & specialist. Each volume provides an introductory overview of the architecture of the area, followed by a descriptive gazetteer arranged alphabetically by place. Whilst cathedrals & their furnishings, great country houses & their parks form the grand set pieces, the books demonstrate the enjoyable diversity of architecture in the British Isles in accounts of rural churches & farmsteads, Victorian public buildings & industrial monuments. A continuing programme of publication keeps the series up-to-date with new information on older buildings & recent architecture while maintaining the tradition of Pevsner`s own succinct accounts. Each book has over 100 photographs, mostly specially commissioned, numerous maps & plans, a glossary & indexes. ...

Budapest

Budapest, by Nicholas Clapton, is an engaging and affectionate musicians-eye view of a great European capital in the process of abandoning the trappings of its Communist past, while attempting to preserve its culture from a creeping, globalised blandness. Though bland is hardly a word that can be ascribed to Budapest or its inhabitants, the author is glad to find that certain old-fashioned attitudes of courtesy and overall decency are still deeply engrained in Hungarian society. Nicholas Clapton finds that, despite Hungary’s geographical closeness to us and the political rapprochements of the last two decades, there is still a true sense of otherness in this fascinating country.
