An Excellant Survey of European architecture

THIS SURVEY OF EUROPE'S ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE SPANS ALL THE MAJOR HISTORICAL STYLES FROM the ancient Minoan, Greek, Etruscan, Roman and Byzantine civilisations, through early Christian, Romanesque and Gothic building, on to the 'classical' era of European architecture, Renaissance, Mannerist, Baroque, Rococo and Neoclassical. The study is rounded off by a survey of nineteenth century Eclecticism and the development of modem architecture in the twentieth century. Almost 1,000 of Doreen Yarwood's elegant and accurate drawings and 108 excellent photographs make this a most attractive, as well as authoritative, work. The Architecture of Europe will be an invaluable reference book for teachers and students as well as the interested general reader.
