Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-8-This lovely book details the design, construction, and history of this architectural wonder. Students of world culture will find this title useful and browsers will appreciate the numerous full-color quality photographs, reproductions, and line drawings. The history is cursory, but adequately provides a context for the politics of the period and an understanding of the technology available to the builders. An excellent addition.
