Examining the urban and architectural developments in Rome during the Pontificate of Julius II (1503–13) this book focuses on the political; religious and artistic motives behind the changes. Each chapter focuses on a particular project; from the Palazzo dei Tribunali to the Stanza della Segnatura; and examines their topographical and symbolic contexts in relationship to the broader vision of Julian Rome. This original work explores not just historical sources relating to buildings but also humanist/antiquarian texts; papal sermons/eulogies; inscriptions; frescoes and contemporary maps. An important contribution to current scholarship of early sixteenth century Rome; its urban design and architecture.

I am a self learning person and I recommends this book for everyone who are searching for a book to learn how to improve a good rock guitar. The book uses a very simple text (just for dummies). and explain most of the things you need to know about the sound. the chords. rhythms. basic techniques and improving good solos... Its just for disturb your neighbors with a nice rock guitar sounds... But like most of things in life... practice will make you a master... As me. I hope you enjoy this book0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Its a StartBy RayCant go from a neophyte to Eric Clapton overnight. but this book is a good start.

Not for the absolute beginnerBy BradleyI would have gave it more stars but this book is great if you already have a good grasp on guitar basics. but if you are a newbie like me it may be a little hard to pick up. Great book I am sure to look at it again once I get a better feel for the guitar. has a lot of good techniques in it.
