Nikolaus Pevsner (1902-83), a distinguished scholar of art and architecture, was best known as editor of the 46-volume series "The Buildings of England" and as founding editor of "The Pelican History of Art." Both of these prestigious series are currently published by Yale University Press. Richard Weston is professor at the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University. He has published extensively on twentieth-century architecture, including his book "Materials, Form, and Architecture," published by Yale University Press.
