### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Enjoy the great illustrations and take the text with a grain of salt.
  

*by D***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2017*

I have now reached the point of my architectural interests where architectural dictionaries are forming part of my diet.  I have discovered that most vary significantly from the others.  Thus far, I much prefer the mostly biographical architectural dictionary by James Stevens Curl.  This dictionary by Ernest Burden is very curious in its way.  It appears that Mr. Burden was paid by the number of entries in the dictionary.  As a result, where one entry would suffice in a normal dictionary, there are frequently multiple iterations of the same entry with only the slightest differences, leaving the reader to wonder if these are actually different things or if these are merely synonymous with each other.  This depends, of course, on the highly personal interests of Mr. Burden which include all things Green, historic preservation, and Technology.  It does become tedious after some time and frequently amusing.  There are also innumerable errors and glitches in the text.  For example Indian architecture is given four definitions - Buddhist, Hindu, Hindu-Buddhist, and Jain of which each are assigned particular beginning and ending dates, as if these religions no longer exist, but have left their temples which ceased to be constructed centuries ago.  Never mind the Sikhs, Muslims, Mar Thoma Christians, etc. or the secular works of architecture in India.In any event, if you purchase this dictionary by all means enjoy the great color photographs (although they are quite small) and don't take the text too seriously.
