Steps to Water, October 27, 2007
This review is from: Steps to Water: The Ancient Stepwells of India (Hardcover)
Outstanding, authoritative and readable text. Excellent photographs by an author who is a recognized expert on west Indian step wells. There is not a lot of material on this subject and this text will likely become the standard.

stunning photographs, extraordinary research, June 11, 2009
This review is from: Steps to Water: The Ancient Stepwells of India (Hardcover)
Astounding images abound in this book, which will draw you into the world of stepwells. Little-known even in India, these architectural constructions extend deep underground, into a shadowy world of water, dust, filtered sunlight, reflections, and shelter from the oppressive heat. This is an amazing book, a comprehensive and thorough survey of this forgotten architecture.
