- Double-weighted statement
- This monograph, of 325 pages, contains 6 substantial chapters exploring the different applications of scientific knowledge to the construction of the British Houses of Parliament (1834-1860). Studies include: disputes among geologists over the Palace's stone and the contributions by mathematicians to making Parliament the first public space in which all rooms had electrically controlled and synchronised time. All research is original and is drawn largely from archives and printed parliamentary papers. Studies on other aspects of Parliament's construction are published in articles to which occasional cross reference is made here. NONE of the latter are submitted in REF2.
