The stones are described, as well as their use in vernacular and contemporaneous architecture. Heritage stones are those stones that have special significance in human culture. Examples include some very important stones that have been either neglected because they are no longer extracted, or stones that have great significance in commercial terms but knowledge of their national and/or international heritage has not been well documented. In this collection of articles, we have tried to spread awareness of architectural heritage around the world, the natural stones that have been used in its construction, and the need to preserve historical quarries that once provided the source of such stones. Historical quarries are linked to regional culture and tradition. Because of the specific technical and aesthetical characteristics of heritage stones, which have lasted for centuries, these historical quarries should be preserved to be able to use the stones for the proper restoration of monuments and historical buildings to avoid negative actions that can be observed in many places in the restoration of buildings, which are some times part of World Heritage sites. The final intention of this book is to continuosly grow the interest on this fascinating subject of heritage stones. 610 $aCheomseongdae 610 $abuilding stones 610 $apetrographic analysis 610 $athe bay of Kotor 610 $aquarry characterisation 610 $aarchitectural heritage 610 $acultural heritage conservation 610 $aultrafast pulse laser 610 $aarchaeometry 610 $aSopo?ani 610 $amarble deposits 610 $aGuadeloupe 610 $aarchitectural conservation 610 $amultiscale roughness 610 $arocks characterization 610 $acultural stone 610 $arestoration 610 $apyroclastic rock 610 $aDuomo di Milano 610 $adolostone 610 $ageological heritage 610 $ahistorical and Archaeological sites 610 $amodern principles of double-layered ventilated roofs 610 $aheritage 610 $aBargiolina 610 $adynamic centrifuge test 610 $asustainability 610 $acultural heritage 610 $ageoheritage 610 $amarket 610 $amarble 610 $aserpentinites 610 $aWestern Alps 610 $aSEM-EDS 610 $aUnesco World Heritage Site 610 $aUNESCO World Heritage List 610 $aStudenica 610 $akaolin 610 $aCoimbra Formation 610 $aeastern Caribbean 610 $adimension stone 610 $alaser surface texturing 610 $a2016 Gyeongju Earthquake 610 $ahouses based on natural stone 610 $aindustrial minerals 610 $awettability properties 610 $afracturing pattern 610 $anatural stone 610 $aGyeongju Historic Areas 610 $aancient seismic design technique 610 $aMartinique 610 $aquartzite 610 $asite-specific ground response analysis 610 $astone architectural heritage 610 $aFrench West Indies 610 $aSardinia 610 $aquarrying 610 $aquarries 610 $astone architecture heritage 610 $aCandoglia marble 610 $aUNESCO cultural heritage 610 $asite characterisation 610 $ahydrophobicity 610 $aChianocco marble 610 $aconservation requirements 610 $amanagement 610 $aheritage stone 610 $aisotopic analysis 700 $aPereira$b Lola$4auth$01292382 702 $aDino$b Giovanna$4auth 702 $aCatarino$b Lidia$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367758503321 996 $aNatural Stone and Architectural Heritage$93022236 997 $aUNINA
