Alejandro Arce thebloomingred — I am so mad that there is a boob shot in this book. No way I can bring it to school now! Definitely a fun story though.

Christophe Petitjean rental_ — Anderson gives an excellent general overview of the evidence for how architects worked, who they were. Especially interesting is the chapter on "Manpower and Materials," in which he describes the problems of getting and moving the materials and labor to the job sites, the debate about slave labor vs. free labor. The chapters in the section called "Organizing Space" provide some very interesting overall introductory comments on city planning, public and private building - including some very interesting comments on taberbnae and the social implications for "mixed use zoning" in the insulae of the big cities. While these chapters give an great introduction to the types of buildings and their orientations in cities, and he even suggests that buildings and their locations could be used as propaganda, the theoretical analysis is lacking and this leaves it as little more than an overview or introduction. There are extensive notes and the textual references are extensive. There are simply not enough illustrations - not a SINGLE photograph in the whole book - which makes many of the descriptions less useful. The line drawn plans provided are often less than clear and are frequently lacking directional indicators of North. Lastly and most importantly, he fails to describe decoration and detail - as if structurally insignificant detail are inessential to the lived experience of architecture in society. This book would be most useful as a broad introduction for someone hoping to get a big picture of the elements of architecture in the Roman world. I imagine it could be very useful for advance undergraduates and beginning graduate students.

Dietmar Mach officee4b9 — My first problem with this book is that it is poorly written. My mother sent it to me with that very caveat. She found it fulfilling; I did not. In fairness to the author (and those who liked this) I read it very sporadically through a tumultuous time (the last few weeks of my pregnancy). Perhaps there is more to it than I noticed. I found the author acting pretentiously knowledgeable about her very short time in India - as if she completely understood Mother Theresa and the sisters after working for one summer there. She looks down on many of the other interns and seems to find herself superior for being so faith-oppositional in the beginning.
