Landmarks & Monuments Editorial Review
If you're interested in architecture or art, you'll definitely enjoy "Architecture: A Visual History". This book is a great gift to give someone who's passionate about these subjects, with its detailed information and fantastic array of images. The hardback cover adds an extra layer of durability and protection, so it's certainly an investment to add to your collection. The book itself is chock-full of treasures and is an excellent reference guide for anyone studying architecture. However, it's not all positive. There are inaccuracies in the book regarding Cahokia's history, which might make readers doubt the accuracy of the rest of the book. Additionally, contemporary architecture seems to be heavily featured, which might not be to everyone's tastes.
