Dostępność: na zamówienie There are several books surveying the history of architecture, but until A Global History of Architecture was published, they were all derivatives of earlier histories of Western architecture, with newer chapters tacked on to address "non-Western" areas.
Compact yet substantial - The volumes from the "Art and Architecture" series pack a wallop. They give many a hefty volume a run for its money as far as impact and density of information are concerned. Each volume is beautifully illustrated with over 600 color illustrations. The highly readable texts have been written by experts and give you concentrated information on accessing well-known and less-known sites in the word of art. An image of every piece of art that is described is included, allowing readers to easily recognize the original on-site. Insets on cultural-historical topics and illustrated glossaries, summaries, and timelines supplement the body text - leaving a deeper, more lasting impression of the material that is covered.
