Built to Last by David Macaulay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Awesome book. The illustrations really bring the building to life and you can flip through the book and understand how castles, cathedrals and mosques were built. The text is easy to read and filled with details I never knew. My 9 year old thought it was cool (especially the castles) and I was fascinated. I now know that animal hides were used as an early fire-proofing technique and know how to build equipment to use in a raid on a castle. I'll definitely look for other books in the series!
