The volume, lavishly illustrated with many images previously unpublished in colour, presents articles by Bernard O'Kane on a wide variety of architectural topics. These range from Morocco to India, and from the earliest periods of Islam to the present day. There is a concentration on monuments in Egypt and Syria, from analysis of borrowings between domestic and religious architecture to studies of individual buildings. Mutual influences between Iran and Egypt are also addressed.
