Spiro Kostof pioneered a sweeping, unified narrative of architecture, based on its role in everyday life and society. Author Richard Ingersoll makes Kostof's highly-respected prose much more accessible, the coverage more global and flexible, social and cultural themes more obvious in section openers and boxes, and the diagrams bolder and clearer.
