[Landon]

Good book, worth the read.

[DoctorM]

Excellent reference guide--- another fine volume in the Penguin Dictionary series. One can just...dive in and fine excellent definitions and examples as well as fine small biographies and accounts of periods, technologies, and the influence of particular architects and schools. A fine little worktable reference as well as a mini-encyclopaedia worth having.
