This book captures the beauty and variety of Greek architectural decoration over three centuries. Glorious color photographs reveal exquisite murals and reliefs, painted and tiled interiors and exteriors, and a wealth of rich, vibrant color. The close-up photographs -many previously unpublished- of facades, doors, windows, floors, and furnishings, offer a tour of richly decorated mansions and public buildings of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, in both neoclassical and vernacular styles, as well as of rural homes, churches, and other structures.

[...] Η συγγένεια των φωτογραφιών του λευκώματος αυτού προέκυψε σταδιακά. Έχουν τραβηχτεί σε διαφορετικές περιοχές και αποτυπώνουν στοιχεία διαφορετικών πολιτισμών. Είναι όμως όλες θραύσματα του μυαλού μου, στιγμές της ζωής μου και εμμονές του βλέμματός μου. Οι λεζάντες πληροφορούν, χωρίς ούτε κατά διάνοια να φωτίζουν το περιεχόμενο της εικόνας, και υπάρχουν μόνο για να ικανοποιούν την περιέργεια, χωρίς να μεσολαβούν στην προσέγγιση.

Black powder means firearmas; it means war. A visit to the powder mill, on the lowest level of the Open-Air Water Power Museum in Dimitsana, involves a change of historical framework, theme and atmosphere.

This guide, created by a group of specialised scientists, provides accurate and clear information about the Open-air Water Power Museum in Dimitsana, using popularised but not simple language. It contains an introduction that reflects the problems in creating a museum nucleus of pre-industrial workshops in the area. Following the introduction, tours in the museum areas -open-air and covered- are given, following the thematic units "The watermill and the fulling-tub", "Leather and tanning" and "The powder mill".

This map is an innovation in publishing: it contains cultural evidence about the Prefecture of Arcadia, and Gortynia in particular, and suggests routes for visiting the cultural monuments and the beauty spots. This map is accompanied by a concisely written and illustrated leaflet, which contains important information on the man-made and the natural environment.

This guide presents the most widely spread form of power in Greece, water power and its better known uses: fulling-mill, water-saw, water-powered olive oil press, fulling-tub and the water-mill, which formed the most important water-powered preindustrial constructions.

This guide presents tanning in modern times, and focuses on preindustrial tanning workshops, tanneries, and the phases and stages since its preindustrial puering.
