4.0 out of 5 stars The Only Survey of Its Kind, August 29, 2006
By 
J. Duncan Berry (Yarmouth Port, MA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Though outdated in significant ways -- with the entire second half essentially eclipsed by Harry Mallgrave's stunningly comprehensive history of modern architectural theory (Cambridge, 2005) -- this is still worth owning and reading for the material from Vitruvius to Perrault.

The enormous bibliography is, due to its cumbersome organization, rather daunting and not nearly as useful as it should be.

Maddening as it is, it is still an essential volume for anyone even remotely interested in the rationale behind the stylistic appearances of our built environment.
