Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Gr. 4^-6. Adam offers an overview of dwellings and constructions throughout history, from primitive caves and huts to modern skyscrapers and factories. He discusses their various purposes, designs, building materials, and architectural techniques, explaining how each structure serves its inhabitants. The author makes frequent mention of animal shelters (for instance, beaver lodges and termite mounds), comparing them with their human-made counterparts. Information is presented in illustrated double-page spreads that address single topics. Each idea is introduced in a short general paragraph, with small, captioned, color drawings providing further examples and more specific details. Sure to be popular with browsers, this will also be of interest to budding young architects. Kay Weisman
