In the spirit of his classic books on engineering (Cathedral, Castle, Pyramid), Macaulay winningly presents the art, architecture, design and construction of a 16th-century Turkish mosque. With a fictional tale and well-integrated (and superbly accurate) color illustrations. This book is not just for kids. The project was inspired by great Ottoman architect Sinan (and his mosque at Edirne).  (TKY89, $19.00)
