Synopsis

Originally published in 1979, the author has revised this survey of Western Civilization to take the reader back to Asia Minor, Egypt, Greece, and Rome. He has also extended it to include the recent years of postmodernism and urbanism, the New Right ideology of the 1980s, and the rising environmental concerns of the 1990s. The author views the history of architecture not as a chronology of styles but as an expression of social and economic conditions; he informs us not only of what was built but how, when, and under what cultural incentives.
