<p>This two-volume encyclopedia provides an in-depth look at buildings and sites of global significance throughout history. The volumes are separated into four regional sections: 1) the Americas, 2) Europe, 3) Africa and the Middle East, and 4) Asia and the Pacific. Introductory essays for each section investigate the broader stylistic and historical contexts that describe the development of architecture through time and across the globe. One hundred entries explore the unique importance of buildings and sites, including the megalithic wonder of Stonehenge and the imposing complex of Angkor Wat.<br><br>Entries on Spanish-colonial missions in the Americas and the medieval Islamic universities of the Sahara connect to broader building traditions. Other entries highlight remarkable stories of architectural achievement and memory, like those of Tuskegee University, a site hand-built by former slaves, or the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, which was built at the site of the atomic denotation. The focus of each entry is architectural, but with strong consideration of the social impact, importance, and significance each structure has had in the past and in the present.</p>
