Greenwood Publishing Group : The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Homes through American History

Reviews:

-"Black-and-white photographs and a handful of color plates enhance this thoughtful text, accessible to students, lay readers, and architecture historians alike. Enthusiastically recommended for college library collections due to its winning combination of extensive research, fine detail, and immersive narrative flow, The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Homes Through American History is a must-read for anyone researching its subject, regardless of professional background." —Midwest Book Review

-"Numerous sidebars and illustrations, full color as well as black and white, highlight particular styles and fashions. The result is an informative guide that will serve public and academic library collections." —Lawrence Looks at Books

-"The set covers ten historical eras beginning with the Colonial era and ending with the period 1986 to present. Each era is introduced by a time line and short historical essay. Other essays synthesize research under topics such as building materials, house plans, interior design, and landscaping. Geographical differences in architecture are covered under Styles....Although essays end with references, readers also will find a glossary and resource guide for each era, an index for each volume, and a general bibliography in the last volume....Although this work gives some emphasis to vernacular architecture, not surprisingly the homes of the wealthy receive the most attention. The value of the set lies behind the pretty facade of the American home, in the contributors' exploration of the interaction of physical house and family life. Recommended. Lower- and upper-level undergraduates; general readers." —Choice
