Canal Architecture, by Peter L. Smith. 32 Pages. Softbound. In recent years there has been a growing appreciation of the long-neglected canals and their architecture. The bridges and buildings of the navigation companies, impressive aqueducts and ingenious systems of locks are all worthy of study by industrial archaeologists and waterway enthusiasts alike, for they are both a link with the past and a part of today's landscape. This book thoroughly describes and illustrates with numerous photos and diagrams these permanent reminders of the canal age and provides details about the various types of stone and brickwork used as well as particular designs, building practices, and finishes. It will provide readers with the basics for a fascinating interest and will make the exploration of waters all the more enjoyable. $8.95 (BK-0899)
