About this product

Product Information

This is a magnificently illustrated exploration of some of the world's finest, most invative, and spectacular libraries. Without libraries what have we? We have past and future. So said the iconic Ray Bradbury, and indeed history as we kw it begins with the invention of the library. Libraries is a visual exploration of how cultures around the world have responded to the impulse to protect and interact with the written word; for the story of the human experience is told t only in the books on a library's shelves, but also in its architecture. Lavishly illustrated with stunning photography, readers are invited into the most ornate libraries, lauded universities and invative design works on earth; the mannerist and the ultra-modern, the opulent and the austere. As libraries and their architecture continue to evolve at breakneck speed, Libraries captures the particular atmosphere of hushed reverence evoked by these cornerstones of society.
