David Macaulay, artist and author of several books (including City, Castle and Pyramid) that use his "masterful" illustrations to explain architecture, deconstructs the late-sixteenth-century Turkish mosque. In Mosque, Macaulay's work describes both how these splendid structures were built, and how they served the people among whom they stood. "As always, Macaulay has given a great deal of attention to the relationship between pictures and text, creating another brilliant celebration of an architectural wonder." Appearance made possible by the Field Family Teen Author Series.
