Divided into three volumes, the Encyclopedia of Vernacular Architecture is a basic resource for this new area of study. As stated in Oliver's introduction "Vernacular architecture is now the term most widely used to denote indigenous, tribal, folk, peasant, and traditional architecture." Volume 1 discusses broad concepts such as 'typologies', 'symbolism and decoration', 'environment' and 'materials and building resources'. Volumes 2 and 3 survey vernacular architecture worldwide, arranged by continent followed by region. Both secular and sacred structures are included in this encyclopedia. The structures and building methods discussed are considered within their particular social and environmental context, disregarding political divisions where appropriate. This encyclopedia also provides line drawings, photographs and some architectural plans. [BQP 2/7/02; MJR 2/12/02].

"A balance of sophistication and clarity in the writing, authoritative entries, and strong cross-referencing that links archtects and structures to entries on the history and theory of the profession make this an especially useful source on a century of the world's most notable architecture. The contents feature major architects, firms, and professional issues; buildings, styles, and sites; the architecture of cities and countries; critics and historians; construction, materials, and planning topics; schools, movements, and stylistic and theoretical terms. Entries include well-selected bibliographies and illustrations."--"Reference that rocks," American Libraries, May 2005.

Encyclopaedia of World Architecture is a series of books describing all the seminal traditions of architecture, from the earliest settlements of man to the stylistically and technologically sophisticated buildings of the twentieth century. It brings together the fruits of a lifetime of teaching and travelling the world by the renowned authors. Each volume sets the architectural style within their political, technological, social and cultural contexts, exploring architecture not only as the development of form but as an expression of the civilization within which it evolved.The series focuses on the story of the different architectural traditions of the world from its origins in Mesopotamia and Egypt, through its realization in ancient Greece and Rome, to the Renaissance, Baroque, Gothic, Hellenic to the Lombardic, from Moorish to Norman, French and Mexican, Colonial American to Military architecture in England. This thread is supplemented with detailed excursions to cover the development of architecture in India, South-East Asia and the Islamic world.An indispensable reference work for students of architecture and art history, practitioners, or travelers and for readers who want to understand the genesis of the buildings they see around them.

Encyclopedia of Architectural and Engineering Feats presents more than 200 achievements in architecture and structural engineering in all the inhabited continents, from prehistory to the present. An architect once described the built environment as "the manifestation of the human spirit in stone, wood, and steel." In this new volume, readers can explore the most innovative and magnificent architectural expressions of the human spirit, from pre-history to the present, from all parts of the world. Readers can visit the Acropolis and Chartres cathedral, along with less familiar places like the ruins of Great Zimbabwe, once the greatest city in sub-Saharan Africa, and China's 71 meter high, 1,200 year old Grand Buddha, carved from stone. They'll learn the secrets behind audacious engineering feats like the Panama Canal, the U.S. interstate highway system, and the Deltaworks in the Netherlands. They will discover that many of these awe-inspiring projects were not the work of trained architects and engineers, but of "underdeveloped" communities, where unified will, tight social organization, and shared commitment to a spiritual ideal were more important than the inventions of the Industrial Age.
