John Summerson Libri

From the step roadways of New England and the Mid-Atlantic States, to the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains of the Southeast and the high altitude assaults of the Mountain West, the most difficult climbs are all included in these pages.

"A guide to cycling climbing and the most difficult hill climbs in Colorado."

Between 1714 and 1830, squares, stucco and brick terraces, churches, parks and thoroughfares transformed the appearance of London. The author paints a picture of the architect's aims, the technical innovations and the social and political background which determined the character of these changes.

Brilliantly written essays on the aesthetic principles and enduring motives of architecture.

The author charts the development of architectural theory and practice from Elizabeth I to George IV. Questions of style, technology, and the social framework are resolved as separable but always essential components of the building worlds.
