Library Journal Review
Glancey conducts a whirlwind tour of the history of world architecture, DK-style. Anyone would be hard-pressed to squeeze a thorough overview of so vast a topic into the confines of 240 visually hyperactive pages, but Glancey, architecture/design editor for the Guardian, follows his strengths as a perspicacious observer of the current architectural scene. Devoting nearly half the text to the modern period, he condenses history's panorama into a series of colorful vignettes, each described as having some contemporary relevance. Driven by a contagious enthusiasm, the narrative is enlivened by chatty, sometimes offbeat commentary. Very much a product of our nonlinear, multitasking era, this book will engage the casual browser but is not in the same league as solid, comprehensive surveys such as Spiro Kostof's A History of Architecture (Oxford Univ.,1995. 2d ed.), David Watkin's A History of Western Architecture (Laurence King, 1996. 2d ed.), or Sir Banister Fletcher's magisterial A History of Architecture (Architectural Pr., 1996. 20th ed.). Appropriate for public library and school media center collections.ÄDavid Soltsz, Cuyahoga Cty. P.L., Parma, OH (c) Copyright 2010.
