520 1 _a"Interest in traditional dwellings has grown enormously in recent years but their steady disappearance as a result of both natural decay and modern development threatens a proper understanding of their cultural and architectural significance. Allen G. Noble's work provides a comprehensive and revealing survey of such buildings from around the globe." "Drawing upon a lifelong professional and personal interest in his subject, the author offers an authoritative account that includes the cave homes of central China, the stilt houses of Dahomey, the housebarns of Europe and North America, the Sunday Houses of Texas, the wind towers of Iran, the ornamental cottages of Russia, and much, much more."--BOOK JACKET.
