This book went in great detail to describe the different magnificent buildings. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in comparing and contrasting ideas and design-like things. The only thing I would change thoughout the book is the repeating structure of each description.

Great book! I loved that the buildings were pictured beautifully and the content on each building was very complete.

This book is much better than I expected. It is not a coffee table book, but a truly informative book on architecture.

A marvelous book showing architectural treasures through the ages. Any student of architecture or engineering should find it to be fascinating.
