Page 7 Acknowledgements For such a short book, this one has accumulated an extraordinary number of debts that I am delighted to acknowledge. Annmarie Adams, Daniel Bluestone, Betsy Cromley, Susan Garfinkel, Marlene Heck, Greg Hise, Zeynep Kezer, Bill Littmann, Richard Longstreth, Bruce Thomas, Abby Van Slyck, and David Vanderburgh all read the original proposal and made such excellent and pointed suggestions that I discarded it entirely. Their comments contributed significantly to giving the book its present shape. So did the students in Architecture 174A in the spring of 1996, who sat through my first attempts to work out these ideas in lectures. Tom Carter, Betsy Cromley, Paul Groth, and Marlene Heck read the entire manuscript and helped make it much better than it would have been. In addition, Catherine Bishir, Margaretta Lovell, Roger Montgomery, and Christine Rosen read portions, to equally good effect. I am grateful to them all. Several friends contributed vital bits of information, photographs, and access to buildings, for which I thank Bill Beiswanger, Tom Carter, Meredith Clausen, Jeff Cohen, Galen Cranz, Betsy Cromley, Sam Davis, Dennis Domer, Jim Gregory, Greg Hise, Lynne Horiuchi, Zeynep Kezer, Travis McDonald, Robert St George, Ellen Weiss, and Sibel Zandi-Sayek. Among the books I have published this has been the one I have enjoyed most by far. Credit goes to the vision and expertise of Simon Mason and Katie Jones at Oxford University Press. Special thanks to Lisa Agate, whose imaginative approach to picture research made an onerous task fun.
