A thorough and engaging account of the American Civil War as it was played out on the high seas and along the major rivers of the United States. Every important battle in which naval power played a part is discussed in detail; along with such innovations as the construction of ironclad warships; the development of combined operations involving both sea and land forces; and the deployment of a (barely) working submarine.

Five StarsBy Walter ShadExcellent!18 of 19 people found the following review helpful. A bonus to any libraryBy Timothy CThis is the first book ever published on Korean architecture in English. It does a remarkable job listing the salient aspects of traditional housing design from both a sociological and formal perspective. The book is illustrated with loads of gorgeous photos and helpful diagrams. Even though my knowledge of Korean architecture is fairly advanced (it is my graduate major); I still found some new information in this great volume; written by a cadre of experts in the field.
