6,000 Years of Housing

The fascinating evolution of house forms from the Stone Age to the present.
Part architecture, part history, and part anthropology, this encyclopedic book limns the rich history of housing: pre-urban dwellings of nomadic, semi-nomadic, and sedentary agricultural societies, urban houses of ancient civilizations, classical Greece and Rome; traditional North African and Asian homes; and the domestic architecture of the Western world.
