Omtale
The essays presented in this volume, first published in 2000, describe a phenomenon so widespread in human time and space that its importance is easily overlooked. This book explores how wall-building traditions throughout the world illustrate universal themes of defensive strategy and the symbolism of power, each time in a distinctive local context.
