5.0 out of 5 stars Very interesting read, 10 Jun 2009

By	Mrs Dinkum (North Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews

This is a really interesting book, which delves into the history of British architecture, how it is changing, and the effects on our surroundings and people.
It has an insert of a painting by Canaletto which gives a view of London around the Thames & St. Pauls area, and images of the tower blocks which have evolved since the 1960s, showing just how much the view has changed.
Also the little paintings and photographs Prince Charles has included are delightful and make this book a pleasure to read, and there is a nice balance between text & pictures.
For anyone interested in the British environment and surroundings this book is a great read.
