Book Summary
To the western eye, cities such as Jerusalem, Mecca, Baghdad or Cairo can seem utterly alien. This volume surveys more than six centuries of Islamic architecture, from the late 7th century to the mid-13th, placing mosques, Koran schools and palaces in their cultural, religious and political contexts. It also features colour photographs.
