Poised between earth and heave, the material and spiritual, burial places are amongst the most important sites ever built. Great Burial Places explores twenty-two of the world's great burial precincts, from purpose built dynastic necropolises such as the Valley of the Kings in Egypt and the Ming Tombs in China to cemeteries such as the Zentralfriedhof in Vienna where the most famous people of their age share a last resting place with tens of thousands of their undistinguished fellow citizens. Great Burial Places will prove a delight to taphophiles as well as to general readers of enquiring mind who wish to explore some of the world's greatest architectural and cultural sites from a fresh perspective.
