Architecture of England, Scotland, and Wales

Hadrian's Wall, Hardwick Hall, and the Royal Pavilion at Brighton were expressions of their owners' and builders' identities, while the Cenotaph and the Ditherington Flax Mill stand for those whose identities are now barely known, if indeed they were ever noted at any time. Starting with Stonehenge and moving up to the Millennial Dome, Jones (architecture, Oklahoma State U.) creates an encyclopedic review of the most significant examples of architecture, including their locations, intentions, creators and significance in terms of what they said about the people associated with them.
