Thomas Jefferson: Architect
This is the first volume to include all of the existing work by Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States and the father of American architecture.

Architecture's Odd Couple
In architectural terms, the twentieth century can be largely summed up with two names: Frank Lloyd Wright and Philip Johnson. Wright (1867–1959) began it with his romantic prairie style; Johnson (1906–2005) brought down the curtain with his spare postmodernist experiments.

The Hidden Voyage
This book is a fiction romance novel that tells a beautiful love story. As the streets that lead from the Strand to the Embankment are very slim, it's better no longer to walk down them arm-in-arm. If you persevere, lawyers' clerks will have to make flying leaps into the mud; young female typists will have to fidget in the back of you. In the streets of London wherein beauty is going unregarded, eccentricity must pay the penalty, and it is higher no longer to be very tall, to put on a long blue cloak, or to conquer the air together with your left hand.
