There is the puzzle which it is the purpose of this book to try to elucidate. On the one hand; we have the alleged deficiencies of suburban taste; on the other we have the appeal it holds for ninety out of a hundred Englishmen; an appeal which cannot be explained away as some strange instance of mass aberration...Sir James Richards (1907-1992); editor of the Architectural Review for 34 years; was arguably the leading advocate in Britain for the modern movement in architecture. The Castles on the Ground (1946) constitutes Richards argument for and appreciation of the virtues of the built environment and the architectural aesthetic of suburbia. Concise and elegantly phrased; the volume is further blessed with superb illustrations by John Piper.

Not useful if youre using a digital cameraBy Ozcan GokceThis review was written by Cigdem Gokce. This book was written with good intentions. as can be understood from the simple and clear illustrations used to explain many aspects of photographing art work and the various examples of faulty photography. However. for digital camera users it is virtually useless for anything beyond setting up the correct lighting conditions since digital photography ise mentioned almost as an afterthought. with the bulk of the book dedicated to extensive elaboration of the merits and uses of photography film. As such. it can only be of help to those artists who still prefer to use (and manage to find) analog photography machines and films. I read this book on North Light e book archives and was glad that I didnt buy it. Its a shame that no effort was made to bring it up-to-date before publishing in 2003.
