The book «Stone Ceramics and Glass, Materials and Works of Art», by pr. Vassileios Lampropoulos describes Stone, ceramics and glass, as three inorganic
materials, which were created either in nature or by man, were occasionally
used as works of art after treatment or as utility objects after various
constructions. These materials have played a crucial role in human life and at
times have been repeatedly used by different cultures for peaceful as well as
military purposes.
Obtained from the crust of the Earth, the raw materials and the building
materials could take the final form of the object - art
monument after proper treatment. Due to the fact that they were highly
resistant to the corrosive environmental factors, they were sometimes unchanged
serving as testimonies of ancient and historical cultures, to provide today’s
and older times with very important data on the cultural heritage of the
people.
This book deals with the above - mentioned materials and the
corresponding works of art - monuments, that have arisen from them. It will be
a great pleasure if it will be of any use in scientists, technicians and people
of a relevant area of expertise while working in these scientific fields.
