P. Leslie Waterhouse, father of the famous English art historian Sir Ellis Kirkham Waterhouse, was a man of considerable means who possessed a deep and abiding interest in architecture. In his book titled Architecture , Waterhouse explores the history of architecture through the ages. As a special treat for curious readers, his book also includes an appendix containing a comprehensive list of books for readers interested in particular branches of architectural history and fifty-nine detailed illustrations of the architectural buildings and styles he explores within the text. To grant the reader a full and complete picture of architecture through the ages, Waterhouse begins his book with the birthplace of architecture as we know it: Ancient Egypt. He then goes on to compare and contrast Egyptian architectural development with that of the Greeks, Etruscans, Romans, and Early Christians. These ancient groups set the stage for Waterhouse's further exploration as he discusses the architecture of Western Europe in Italy, France, Germany, Spain, and England. This European architecture includes hundreds of different forms and styles, including Mohammedan architecture, Romanesque architecture, Gothic architecture, and Renaissance architecture, just to name a few. Waterhouse also makes time for the more contemporary additions to this established field and devles into a detailed discussion of modern styles and structures. Architecture by P. Leslie Waterhouse is a treasure trove of architectural discussion and reference. Waterhouse explores a vast array of cultures and time periods and the styles and structures of architecture these groups use in their buildings. This book is a great read for anyone interested in architecture. It's also an interesting read for individuals intrigued by the cultures of ancient and not-so-ancient civilizations and how those cultures affected the design of structures.
