Abstract
Architectural styles and terms are visually identified: the predominant characteristics of 39 styles are shown -- from Spanish Colonial through Art Moderne. Brief text describes each, and photos are keyed by number to an explanatory list of the style's salient features. Close-ups are used to pinpoint details for pictorial glossary. -- AATA
