Illustrated by
Giles Laroche.
Using a simple narrative thread, Sturges introduces a wide variety of sacred places, including a tiny church on an island in Greece, a temple in India, and a mosque in Niger. Laroche's stunning cut-paper illustrations are well suited to an architectural book. In addition, the author describes each structure in several sentences of small type next to the illustration. This handsome book is great for browsing.
