This superb picture book tribute to seven of history's most celebrated architectural wonder-workers takes readers from the domes of Florence to the mosques of Turkey, from the EiffelTower to the ChryslerBuilding. Stunning illustrations and lively text evoke the passion and genius of builders whose inspiring work spans five centuries and six countries.
“Zaunders…concentrates on the builders…often highlighting the enormous obstacles that would have daunted less courageous, less obsessive geniuses….[T]he book’s seven sections span from 1422 Florence…to early-twentieth-century New York….Munro’s vibrant watercolor vignettes and full-page illustrations complement the text.”—The Horn Book
