★ 05/01/2016Cannon (Hometown Architect: The Complete Buildings of Frank Lloyd Wright in Oak Park and River Forest, Illinois) and Caulfield team up for the fifth time with this breathtaking look at 45 of Chicago's architectural gems, including private residences and public spaces. Dramatic exteriors, detailed interiors, and iconic images of ceilings, floors, staircases, windows, and interesting features are captured to perfection by Caulfield. Cannon provides a brief synopsis about the structure style, architect, and place in history for each building pictured. The interiors of some of the private residences have never before been seen. Among the designs included are neoclassical, arts & crafts, the Chicago School, prairie, modern, contemporary, international, and brutalist as created by Adler & Sullivan, Burnham & Root, Griffin, Wright, Holabird & Roche, and a host of outstanding architects and firms. VERDICT An exceptional virtual journey through time of Chicago's longstanding cultural history, this title is highly recommended for all collections, including academic and public libraries focusing on the arts and architectural design.—Stephen Allan Patrick, Jonesborough, TN
