Universe of Stone - A Biography of Chartres Cathedral
Chartres Cathedral, south of Paris, is revered as one of the most beautiful and profound works of art in the Western canon. But what did it mean to those who constructed it in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries-and why was it built at such immense height and with such glorious play of light, in the soaring manner we now call Gothic?In this eminently fascinating work, author Philip Ball makes sense of the visual and emotional power of Chartres and brilliantly explores how its construction-and the creation of other Gothic cathedrals-represented a profound and dramatic shift in the way medieval thinkers perceived their relationship with their world.

AN ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF LANGUAGE
In the study of language the late 1980s may be seen in retrospect as an era of consolidation. No moderately aware eye will
miss the epidemic of encyclopaedias of that time, their didactic sameness masked by a variety of style, even a desperate
individuality. Some spread a single topic (say, dialectology) over an ample volume; some report on a kaleidoscope of topics
under a summary, not always illuminating, heading (say, grammar). Some are terse and sober lexicons; some, like advertisers, seek their targets with a fine typographic frenzy.
