Description
Lloyd Kahn has managed to pull together a stunning catalog of the phenomenon of human shelter through history, across cultures and climates from around the world. Yurts and huts and tree houses and cathedrals of stone. This is an eye-opener for anyone considering building their own home, or anyone just interested in human inventiveness and creativity. With over 1000 photos and drawings of cave houses, communal huts, wooden shacks, tents, domes, towers and holes in the ground, you'll be amazed at all the different ways people have tried to keep the rain off their heads and the wolves outside!
Condition: Good to Very Good. Lightly shelf worn, corners a bit bumped, some creasing/scuffing/wear and soiling/discoloration to covers. Binding is straight and tight but has small tears at the bottom and top. No problems with text or other serious flaws.
