    "The most authoritative dictionary of the language spoken by the built environment . . . McAlester's book is excellent for the layperson who wants to wander about the neighborhood with a bit more authority, or perhaps for the homeowner who can't decide what kind of windows might look best. It's also useful to those of us who study preservation professionally, to bring our insistence that buildings are just as alive as plants--and just as worthy of careful, affectionate attention--into the broader cultural conversation about urban spaces. That conversation, in which the most mundane elements of building design are cast as characters in the story of a city, turns the streetscape into something greater than the brick and limestone it's made of. It's alive, noisy--and demands our close attention."  --Angela Serratore, The New York Times Magazine "Magisterial . . .
