BIBLIOGRAPHY:
Because we move around the world at a rapid pace in
this course, you may find an Atlas of World History, like the one
published by Rand McNally (or something similar), very helpful. If you are
unfamiliar with architectural terminology, I would suggest that you consult
specialized dictionaries such as The Penguin Dictionary of Architecture
(edited by J.F.H. Honour and N. Pevsner) and The Penguin Dictionary of
Building (edited by J.S. Scott) following each lecture.
