Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"This handsome book about vernacular architecture first attracts your eye, then engages your mind. The careful craftsmanship of the buildings described is paralleled by the disciplined research of the book itself. In analyzing the history of the making of buildings and towns in an area of southeastern Italy near the heel of the Italian boot, the author seeks to understand the relationship of geography and human history to vernacular architecture."

This review is from: Stone Shelters (Paperback)
Lots of history on stone shelters from around the world. Could be more photo's, and colour ones would be better yet.
