Not recommended.
Very dry and poorly produced. Every time the author mentions a building or a construction system, I had to pause, google it (learn there) and come back to read about the next example in the next architectural style repeating the same process over and over again.
The cover is misleading, the texts are not accompanied by illustrations. In my opinion, you can get a lot more value and knowledge investing the time it takes to read this book, in reading another book.
