This is a wide-ranging, substantive account of architecture: its elements, history and meaning from pre-historic times to the present.

Leland Roth leads us all the way from Ancient Indian mounds to Johnson & Burgee's new "Chippendale" skyscraper in New York.

He provides an assessment of each period based on contemporary concerns and conditions, rather than on retrospective criticism.

This book is enhanced by over 300 illustrations.
