Product Description
Review
As the Eiffel Tower has come to symbolize Paris, so the Palace of Westminster means London, and the chimes of Big Ben, thanks to the BBC World Service, are synonymous the world over with immutability and authority. But not many people have been inside the Houses of Parliament, and fewer still get to make history within it from day to day. Here is a new study of this unique Victorian building, which survived the Blitz during World War II, including rarely seen archive material and new photographs which reflect its magnificence, for anyone interested in government or architecture. (Kirkus UK)
Synopsis
This text offers new insight into one of Britain's most famous, celebrated and complex buildings. It places the building within a broad historical, political and cultural context.
