Description

Bricks and Stones from the Past is an informative, handsomely illustrated and skilfully written book of hard facts about Jamaica’s wealthy geo-historical heritage. Weaving his way through many intricate branches of knowledge, including archaeology, building construction, chemistry and geology, the creator embarks on a journey that takes him through the pages of history and across the island. He examines, analyses and describes the nature and origin and use of quite a lot of lithic materials and objects, many of which played a very powerful role in the development of the island up to the early a part of the twentieth century. With a thorough glossary to lend a hand readers in understanding some of the technical terms, the creator records his observations and findings in seven easy-to-read and be mindful chapters. The a large number of illustrations of assorted artefacts and ruins will have to prove of immense value to collectors, museums, libraries, researchers and schools. This much-needed, pioneering reference is an essential addition to the literature on Jamaica.
