5.0 out of 5 stars
Breathtakingly beautiful!
The author (Mr. Stierlin) is designated as an "art historian". That is true, but far from complete. Judging from this book, he is also an outstanding photographer. Many books of this type are sabotaged by mediocre photography; not this one! If you have an interest in beautiful architecture beyond the shores of America, you should get this book.

Normal book
I have visited a lot of the countries which have monuments described in this book. I would say that this is normal book for such price. But if someone is interested in one of the cultural centres more deeply I recommend to find something else.

This review is from: Islamic Art and Architecture: From Isfahan to the Taj Mahal (Hardcover)
The book portrays Islamic architecture through the ages and throughout the Muslim world in a manner that portrays both it's beauty and the similar features that transcend geography and time. It is particularly enlightening to Westerners who have little exposure to history, the non-Western world, or Islam.
