Summary:
At once an entrancing cultural history and a congenial guide for tourists, armchair travelers, and amateur archaeologists alike, this book conducts readers through the storied past and towering presence of the most famous building in the world. Who built the Parthenon, and for what purpose? How are we to understand its sculpture? Why is it such a compelling monument? The classicist and historian Mary Beard takes us back to the fifth century B.C. to consider the Parthenon in its original guise--as the flagship temple of imperial Athens, housing an enormous gold and ivory statue of the city's patron goddess attended by an enigmatic assembly of sculptures. Just as fascinating is the monument's far longer life as cathedral church of Our Lady of Athens, as "the finest mosque in the world," and, finally, as an inspirational ruin and icon. Beard also takes a cool look at the bitter arguments that continue to surround the "Elgin Marbles," the sculptures from the Parthenon now in the British Museum.

Summary:
Monuments represent power: explicitly and simply, but not universally. In Estonia, the classical notion of a monument is a strange one. Its presence is marginal, its tradition non-existent and its form tormented by an apparent cultural displacement. The statue on a square never claimed the central position so common in Western Europe. This semantic void directs attention(...)

Summary:
Monuments represent power: explicitly and simply, but not universally. In Estonia, the classical notion of a monument is a strange one. Its presence is marginal, its tradition non-existent and its form tormented by an apparent cultural displacement. The statue on a square never claimed the central position so common in Western Europe. This semantic void directs attention to other, less exceptional pieces of architecture. Sometimes a stairway marks a politically charged location, or a pavement becomes symbolic. Instead of explicit meanings inscribed in marble and bronze, an implicit charge is revealed that might be weaker yet more relevant, for what is only implicit cannot be openly questioned. Weak Monument explores the blurred line between a monument's explicitly political form and the architecture of everyday. It juxtaposes classical monuments with seemingly insignificant architectural objects and public space in a collection of images and drawings, archival as well as newly commissioned ones, alongside essays and brief texts

Summary:
Using facts, anecdotes, and personal observation, architect and longtime advocate for the preservation of American architecture Harvey H. Kaiser leads the reader through more than 200 places of interest across the United States. Covering the entire nation and presented by region, this book takes the reader on a journey through recognizable icons such as the Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Arch, and the USS Arizona. The extraordinary rustic buildings of the National Parks at Yellowstone, Carter Lake, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon are explored as well as frontier military forts and trading posts like Fort Sumter, Bent's Old Fort, and Fort Clatsop. There are the southwestern sites of the mysterious Anasazi and Chaco cultures and missions of San Antonio, Tumacacori, Pecos, and Salinas Pueblo. Kaiser's descriptions let readers not only feel as if they have shared the experience of these places but also gain a solid understanding of why the architecture is significant to American history.
