"The most authoritative dictionary of the language spoken by the built environment . . . McAlester's book is excellent for the layperson who wants to wander about the neighborhood with a bit more authority, or perhaps for the homeowner who can't decide what kind of windows might look best. It's also useful to those of us who study preservation professionally, to bring our insistence that buildings are just as alive as plants--and just as worthy of careful, affectionate attention--into the broader cultural conversation about urban spaces. That conversation, in which the most mundane elements of building design are cast as characters in the story of a city, turns the streetscape into something greater than the brick and limestone it's made of. It's alive, noisy--and demands our close attention." --Angela Serratore, The New York Times Magazine "Magisterial . . . The illustrated story of why our houses--great and humble and everything in between--look the way they do." --Michael Tortorello, The New York Times "Once you've pored through Virginia McAlester's photo-packed bible of American home design, you'll be able to identify the saltboxes, Dutch colonials, and brownstones lining your own street, and you'll understand the historical significance of each one." --Tina Jordan, Entertainment Weekly "The go-to resource for architecture spotters." --Peter Terzian, Elle Décor "Chronicles the past 400 years of American styles, from wigwam to mobile to modern." --Alexandra Wolfe, The Wall Street Journal "A classic." --Pilar Viladas, House Beautiful "Encyclopedic . . . For lovers of historic homes, this is a rich trove of not just details, but reasons for them." --Susan Clotfelter, The Denver Post "880 pages of scholarly wonder." -- D Magazine "The definitive guide to American housing styles." --Jim Weiker, The Columbus Dispatch "Outstanding . . .

- e***l (876)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaBook is in excellent condition. It did arrive a week and a half later than it was originally supposed to. I reached out to the seller which took a bit of time to receive a response. The book was a good value and it did ship in a bubble envelope which always helps with protecting the books from postal handling/damage.
- d***a (53)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaShipping took a little longer than it initially said but the book still arrived just as described in fantastic condition. I wasn't a huge fan of the packaging though, as it was just wrapped in a simple thin plastic sleeve with zero cushion or padding and I've had books completely destroyed because there was nothing to protect them so if possible I'd like to see the seller provide a safer package when shipping books. But thankfully mine wasn't damaged in transit!STATION HILL BLANCHOT READER, Blanchot, Maurice, 9781886449176 (#197410139171)
