Library Journal Review
DK's "Eyewitness Companions" series, which covers such topics as art, classical music, golf, and wine, seems to encompass a trove of visual guides for basic personal reference. In this kaleidoscopic volume, Glancey (architecture & design editor, Guardian; The Story of Architecture) examines 5000 years of architecture throughout the world. In well-executed and consistent writing, he briefly introduces each era and region, then touches on significant buildings and complexes (e.g., the Parthenon, the Sydney Opera House). However, he can cover only highlights in the 500-odd pages allotted, and he is also hampered by the 5" x 9" format. It's such a squeeze-the text, images, captions, sidebars, time lines, and headings-that many photos are miniaturized. Cover hype aside, this book can't challenge truly definitive works such as Spiro Kostof's A History of Architecture: Settings and Rituals. However, it does offer an accessible and inexpensive outline of the subject. A basic glossary is a helpful appendix. Recommended for small public and high school libraries.-David R.

DK's trademark visual verve is applied to this volume in the Eyewitness Companions series. Brief text accompanies numerous, albeit sometimes very small, color photographs, providing a whirlwind tour through the architectural elements, styles, and landmarks of the ages and slightly updating Glancey's The Story of Architecture (2000). Though it's no substitute for standard texts, this is an inexpensive way to add an architecture resource. --Mary Ellen Quinn Copyright 2006 BooklistNotas de autor provistas por Syndetics
