"Let's face it: the author of Cathedral, Pyramid and City sort of slipped up here on topic choice...maybe the water wheel is pretty exciting to most people, but not so much to me."
"Another in MacAulay's great books, showing how an Industrial-Revolution era mill (in this case) was built, along with how it fit into the culture that created it. His other books in the same spirit are Castle, Cathedral, Pyramid, City, Mosque, and Unbuilding. Lots of fun to read with or without kids."
