5.0 out of 5 stars Super summary of airports and air travel around the world, 6 Jan 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Airports: A Century of Architecture (Hardcover)
Charting the evolution of the airport all the way from the Wright Brother's barn to the massive cities that airports are today, this book covers airport architecture very well.

Lovely glossy pictures fill the book, as you would expect, though that doesn't mean the text is weak. Pearman writes very well covering a wide range of issues in a simple yet adult manner. He doesn't constantly talk about architecture, for he chronicles the development of flight and aircraft. Overall, it is a nice summary of the history of air travel.

However, there is a bad point. I would recommend you go for Amazon's price or cheaper, as for £40 you would expect a really thick hardback, but this particular book I thought was quite thin for its high price. A book like "The Book of Cities" is relatively better priced at £20ish. Despite this, I highly recommend this book.
