Much more than just an omnibus edition of three of David Macaulay's most popular architecture books for readers 9 to adult, this book combines Mosque with new color-illustrated versions of Cathedral and Castle, revised to reflect the author's decades of research. A Caldecott Medalist, Macaulay delves into the history and construction of these millennial edifices—buildings meant to stand for a thousand years—while never losing the sense of their human scale. His superbly detailed architectural drawings are full of humorous notes.
