James F. O'Gorman's A B C of Architecture is a concise, illuminating introduction to the complex subject
of architecture. O'Gorman himself calls this slim volume a "modest grammar" on the subject, but it's
much more than that. In elegant prose O'Gorman teaches architectural theory as he teaches history. If you've ever
wondered about arches, domes, or the importance of concrete, A B C Architecture will likely have the answers
you're looking for. For those unfamiliar with architecture, O'Gorman includes a glossary of terms and suggestions
for dictionaries.
