Review
—Leonard K. Eaton, Isis
"Two generations of architectural historians have been decisively influenced by Frankl's concepts, accentuating the feeling for the sequence and combination of spaces, and for the intrinsic tension between volume and void.... Frankl's identification of the architectural image with the mental image is, of course, influenced by the main tenets of the then developing Gestalt psychology."
—Paul Zucker, Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism
"The translation is relaxed and readable. The illustrative material has been augmented. Let us now hope for a paperback edition, so that we can assign the book with an easier conscience to our students. And let us hope the MIT Press continues to give us other such central books, in translations of this caliber."
—Spiro Kostof, Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians

Store description
For 15 years I've been an Oregon CPA, and for 10 of those I taught tax and accounting at the college level. But my proudest work has nothing to do with numbers: I homeschooled my daughter from preschool through freshman year and in September she will be starting the 10th grade - homeschooling. This season taught me a good book can shape how a child sees the world. Every title I choose has to engage young minds to think critically and navigate this world with real understanding. Every book has a story — but it only means something when a child lives it. Why Papa Duck? I was "Uncle Duck" to my nieces and nephews for years — duck pictures fill my office, Mallards are my favorite. When my grandson arrived last year, the family asked what he'd call me. There was only one answer. CPA by training, teacher by calling, homeschool dad by experience, Papa Duck by love.…
