  An illustrated chronology of western architecture spanning 3000 years of history, from Minoan Crete to the 1980s. The chronology scheme allows the reader to compare the contrasting interpretations of style - classical, Gothic and modern in different countries. Each spread focuses on a defined period of years, with two columns of text giving a detailed survey of the architecture of the time. A third column records contemporary historical, scientific events, keying developments in building into a wider pattern of European and American cultural achievement. Doreen Yarwood is also the author of Encyclopedia of Architecture .
