Review Quotes: "[The book] draws you in and keeps you there with fascinating material and many cross-references. The architects of many of the structures are also given coverage, and it should not be forgotten that entries on materials are also included, making this an entirely comprehensive volume for the general reader, student and researcher's reference shelf. It is a quick and easy-to-use reference book, just be careful of getting lost in the fascinating entries, it is very easy to be drawn further and deeper into its multidisciplinary contents." --Reference Reviews
