Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

God's Acre Beautiful: Or The Cemeteries Of The Future is a book written by William Robinson and published in 1883. The book explores the idea of creating beautiful and natural cemeteries that are designed to blend in with their surroundings, rather than being stark and imposing structures. Robinson argues that cemeteries should be seen as places of peace and tranquility, where people can reflect on life and death in a serene and natural setting. He suggests that cemeteries should be designed with trees, flowers, and other natural features, and that they should be accessible to the public as a place of recreation and contemplation. The book also discusses the importance of preserving historic cemeteries and the need for proper care and maintenance. Overall, God's Acre Beautiful is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of the role of cemeteries in society and the ways in which they can be designed to serve both practical and spiritual purposes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
