Review
"This handsome book about vernacular architecture first attracts your eye, then engages your mind. The careful craftsmanship of the buildings described is paralleled by the disciplined research of the book itself. In analyzing the history of the making of buildings and towns in an area of southeastern Italy near the heel of the Italian boot, the author seeks to understand the relationship of geography and human history to vernacular architecture."
