Criticism Editorial Review
The 3rd Edition of Buildings across Time is a comprehensive resource that offers an elaborate history of world architecture. The book provides in-depth explanations and includes some color pictures of high quality. However, some topics could have been better explained, and certain sections would benefit from the inclusion of more visual aids. The book's arrangement is not ideal, particularly the consolidation of the Americas and Africa into one chapter. The chapters are also quite lengthy, calling for a more focused organization. Regardless of these shortcomings, this book is an amazing tool to expand one's knowledge of architectural history, covering famous buildings and general construction methods. It is unclear how this edition compares to newer versions or competitor books, as the reviewer only used it for university courses. Nevertheless, the affordability of used copies, currently priced under $10, makes it a great investment. Despite some wear on the outside, the used copy reviewed was in excellent condition on the inside. Physically, the book offers high-quality paper, ink, and color, resulting in crisp text and detailed photographs. The binding is sturdy, and the page layout is well-designed, with adequate margins. Although not a preferred format, the use of double columns is manageable due to the small font size.
