We created Buildings Across Time with a mind to the richness of the subject matter and the likely preparedness of undergraduate students. It is written in carefully constructed, straightforward, readable prose, as free as possible from the authors' own biases. It presents the facts of the buildings and their contexts and leaves the matter of interpretation to the individual instructors.

By any standard it is a beautiful book and one so carefully and fully illustrated with photographs that such traditional testing procedures as slide identification can be accomplished, if an instructor chooses to do so, exclusively from the published images. Moreover, these images, together with the numerous and coordinated plan, section, and elevation drawings, make it possible to study a building as a complete object. The accompanying CD adds even more images and game-like study exercises.

Choice, published by the Association of College and Research Libraries, called this book " the best worldwide survey of architecture on the market today . . . much better than any other worldwide survey book . . . Highly recommended."
