Architecture; which can be understood in its most basic sense as a form of enclosure created with an aesthetic intent; first made its appearance in the Prehistoric Age. From its earliest developments; architecture changed over time and in different cultures in response to changing cultural needs; aesthetic interests; materials; and techniques. The Historical Dictionary of Architecture provides information on architects like Frank Lloyd Wright; Tadao Ando; Leon Battista Alberti; Filippo Brunelleschi; Michelangelo; and Konstantin Stepanovich Melnikov; as well as on famous structures like the Acropolis; the Colosseum; the Forbidden City; Machu Pichu; Notre Dame; the Pyramids of Giza; Stonehenge; and the World Trade Center. The dictionary examines the development of architecture over the centuries through a chronology; an introductory essay; a bibliography; and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on the major architects; well-known buildings; time periods; styles; building types; and materials in world architecture.

It is intentional; well thought out and easy to implement by just following the lesson plans. My fifth grade classes would do this as long as I would let them. It is a drumming experience that lets the students improvise in a very controlled way. I would recommend this to anyone teaching music. I am not a percussionist. I will use it for years to come.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Useful for not only drumsBy Graeme AllenWill spells out these ensembles well and gives structured lesson plans. Can be used by any teacher that can read rhythms. Useful for not only drums; but anything you can find to make a sound....desks; water bottles; buckets; the sky is the limit. Dont be discouraged by your limitations.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Not as it seems...By S. SwansonThis book is not a one stop shop for teaching group percussion; far from it...The ensemble pieces themselves are average at best and the book contains no back ground information regarding the origins of the pieces. For that information you are forced to purchase the DVD; ldquo;enrichmentrdquo; book; CD and song books (of which this book makes constant references to)Apart from that; the material and teaching methods and theory are very out of date and stale. Out of its 93 pages I would say 4-5 pages are usable; the rest is very long winded explanation of the most basic of teaching principles.Would not recommend
