Product Description

Product Description

This volume describes architecture in the Greek land from the prehistoric settlements of Troy, the Minoan palaces of Crete and their counterparts in the Mycenean kingdoms, to the absorption of Hellenism into the Roman Empire. The book pays particular attention to the early period, supplying a large-scale account of the development of pre-Hellenic building. Then the evolution of temples and other religious buildings is traced. Two chapters follow the history of town planning and civic building, while others cover the development of the theatre and such topics as Greek masonry, vaulting and fortification.

Format:Paperback
I ordered this book on Friday and awoke to find it delivered on Saturday morning. Exceptional delivery speed!
Like the previous reviewer, I purchased this book for my A level in Classical Civilisation, and am already half way through it.
I get the impression that it will stand me in good stead for my June exams.
The terms however, are quite technical, so I wouldn't recommend it for a casual reader or someone simply interested in Greek architecture.
For a student, however, this slimline textbook is perfect as it contains diagrams, photographs, history and a glossary (as well as further reading suggestions) at the back.
Great to take with you on the train/bus if you want to do a bit of revision on the go.

Good luck to all who are taking their A level exams this summer!
