Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This text is an introductory survey of medieval architecture in Western Europe from c.300 to c.1500. It presents a selection of major monuments for the entire period in one volume, filling a gap between general surveys of architectural history where medieval buildings constitute only a small section of the book, and specialized, detailed discussions devoted to the architecture of a specific period or region.
MoreLong description:
Medieval Architecture in Western Europe covers the entire period of European Medieval architecture from c. 300 to c.1500. It offers a basic introduction with appropriate plans, sections, and photographs, all in one single volume. Concerned about the perceived gap in current art history books in regards to medieval architecture, the author is careful to examine selected major monuments, incorporating just the right amount of detail to
provide the basic information needed to learn about each type of building, and to impart a sense of continuity and development of structure, form, and function across Europe and through the different periods of the Middle Ages. The author explores the contextual role of the buildings in their settings and the symbolic impact of both
exterior and interior forms, paying particular attention to their experiential qualities. The book is heavily illustrated with photographs, plans, sections, and diagrams. Remarkably thorough in its coverage, Medieval Architecture in Western Europe will not only appeal to the general reader who has little or no prior knowledge of medieval architecture, but will also keep the interest of those who are more knowledgeable about the subject.
The design of this series is satisfyingly put together for the reader and the picture browser, and this volume makes a useful contribution to the needs of both...there are gems to be found, insights to be enjoyed, and the whole is presented on a broad and inclusive canvas
