"On this one I recommend skimming to chapter six where it gets really "meaty" and from there you will want to read carefully. I was sad not to be online and create a few questions for this one but maybe I will go back."
"Really wonderful survey about how we arrived at current notions of beauty and the different ways the idea of beauty is interpreted and displayed. Contains tons of images, wonderful essays by Eco as well as writing contemporary to the images in the book. A must read for art enthusiasts."
"I loved this book. It is basically an art book that looks at beauty (human, architecture, machines, scenes) throughout history. It was very interesting comparing the concepts of beauty over time. I found the book quite intriguing, intellectual, and enjoyable."
