Ranging in its attention from such early manifestations of building as the Hohokam Salt River Irrigation Canals of Southern Arizona (0-1450 CE) to the most sophisticated structures of our modern cities to such ordinary and yet essential subjects as the parkways on which we drive, the theaters in which are entertained, the gardens in which we take our leisure, and the houses in which we live, this volume comprehensively tells the story of building in America. It is at once a practical guide for those who would travel to a nation's monuments and architectural curiosities as well as a treasure trove of imagery and information."--Jacket.
