Touches On All Elements of Architecture

I rarely review but I searched for a couple of hours for something that was easy to read, educational, and a summary that covered all elements of architecture. I received this book only yesterday so i haven’t read it, however I skimmed through it and am impressed by this. It is exactly what i was looking for. Covers everything I was wondering about, some sections look brief but that was what I was wanting. Anything i need to research more on i can go online, but this is good for getting a basic idea and understanding of all elements of architecture and building a home and it was exactly what I needed.
