Interesting collection of essays about commemorative architecture in history. Those of us outside the fields of archaeology and ancient history don't often think about the fact that ancient cultures also had histories, and that they would have created monuments to those past glories. Each essay examines the architectural commemorations of one culture, focusing on the "four salient dimensions of cultural landscape." Most of the essays are engaging and well-written.
