Review Quotes:
Accessible not only to the architectural community . . . but to anyone with a passion for housing . . . issues are expressed clearly, and details serve a larger context.--Elizabeth MacKenzie, MAIBC "APT Bulletin: The Journal of Preservation Technology"

This encyclopedic volume limns the rich story of housing around the world from the pre-urban dwellings of nomadic, semi-nomadic, and sedentary societies to today. It covers housing around the world and suggests solutions for modern housing problems based on historical precedents.
