London has a unique series of churches built after the Great Fire of 1666; when most of the City of London was destroyed. Among these iconic churches are St Pauls; St Mary-le-Bow; St Brides; St Clement Danes; St Martin-in-the-Fields; St Mary-le-Strand; St George Bloomsbury and Christ Church Spitalfields. They remain today as outstanding landmarks that define their local cityscapes. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren and his followers - Hawksmoor; Gibbs; Archer and James - these beautiful churches embody spiritual principles expressed through the conventions of Classical architecture. Underlying their outward; visible forms is sacred geometry; an ancient art that explores the invisible inner structure of the Cosmos and gives expression to it in physical form. In this book; Nigel Pennick explains the sacred geometry; spiritual symbols and emblems that make these churches among the most notable buildings of London.

Thoughtful insights.By Darren PriestIf youre a horror afficionado. you may well have come across some of Phillips insights before. but as a stand-alone book its not only a great overview of three auteurs that defined the horror genres golden age. but a thought provoking study on why many of todays horror films are so bland.
