Críticas

"This is a remarkable book, conceived in an original way and one which, so far as I know, has not been previously attempted .... Mainstone has a comprehensive knowledge of modern constructional techniques. He sees the same principles at work in the lintel of a megalith and a modern space-frame, in the metal cramps of a neoclassical church and the disposition of reinforcing bars in a concrete hangar. It is precisely this ability to; look back critically from the standpoint of a modern engineer to relatively primitive but often exceedingly complex types of structure that gives the book its value."- Sir John Summerson

Reseña del editor

Encompassing buildings of the West, North Africa, and the Near East, from native construction to modern technology, "Developments in Structural Form "considers the physical principles of structures, the materials they are made of the ways in which they maybe built, and the history of man's involvement with them. Mainstone interweaves these approaches so deftly that the evolution of structural forms seems as natural and inevitable as the evolution of plants and animals
