About the Author

Marian Moffett earned a B.Arch. at North Carolina State University (1971) and the M.Arch. and PhD. at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1973 and 1975, respectively). Since 1975, she has taught architectural history at he University of Tennessee, where she has collaborated with Lawrence Wodehouse in producing exhibitions and catalogs on the architecture of the Tennessee Valley Authority and cantilever barns, as well as co-authoring A History of Western Architecture and East Tennessee Cantilever Barns. Her research includes work on wooden architecture in eastern Europe and town planning in Tennessee. She is active with the Southeast Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians and has served as President of the UT Faculty Senate and as an academic administrator in the Office of the Provost. Michael Fazio is an architect and architectural historian. He holds a Bachelor of Architecture Degree from Auburn University, a Master of Architecture Degree from The Ohio State University, and a Ph.D. in the History of Architecture and Urban Development from Cornell University. He practices architecture in the southeast region, most often as a preservation consultant preparing historic structures reports. He teaches architectural design studios and architectural history in the School of Architecture at Mississippi State University. He is also an actively publishing scholar whose articles have appeared in the Society of Architectural Historians Journal, Arris (the journal of the Southeast Society of Architectural Historians), and the Journal of Architectural Education. His book (with co-author Patrick Snadon of the University of Cincinnati), Inventing the American House: the Domestic Architecture of Benjamin Henry Latrobe, will be published in 2003 by The Johns Hopkins University Press and will be accompanied by an exhibition at The Octagon and Decatur House in Washington, D.C.

First Sentence
Architecture is an ancient and necessary art, for people have always sought shelter from the elements, and thus the beginnings of architectures are part of prehistory, the period before the development of written language. Read the first page

Scamming Students? 28 Sep 2006
By LQ - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book appears to be exactly the same as "A World History of Architecture" (Paperback) by the same authors and available on Amazon for $33.64 without the CD. The number of pages, table of contents, and intro sentence are exactly the same. It seems more than slightly shady to me to sell the exact same book with two different names.

This book is required reading for my Architectural History class and was for sale at my school's bookstore for $100. My stodgy old professor isn't teaching from the CD. I am not giving these people my money, I got my copy at the library.

Needless Expense 26 Feb 2008
By Thomas G. Robbins - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I'm one of those "stodgy" old professors (who chose this book as a text before it included the disc and zoomed up in price.) I was unaware until last week that it's produced under another name without the disc, at 40% of the price of this one (Yes, tacky, isn't it?) This book is very good, but it's NOT a good purchase since the identical "A World History of Architecture," can be purchased instead. Same words, far better price. I'm changing texts for future classes.

Buy "A World History of Architecture" - 2nd edition instead 23 Sep 2009
By Stephanie Hwang - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I read the previous review about how there are two versions of this book with two different titles and two different prices, but I just wanted to double check. I purchased both to double check and the reviews were correct.

This book cost $85 and is paperback with no CD

"A World History of Architecture" - 2nd edition is half the price and a hardback version.

I skimmed the pages and it is the SAME EXACT BOOK down to the page numbers.
