Do Americans even know that the Sufi are Islamic?

Everyone in this country could benefit from reading just the preface of this wonderful book. "Islamic terrorists" have created the "terror" of a prejudice that grossly misrepresents the underlying Spiritual truths of this religion. This deprives us of the wonderful principles, philosophy, morals, art, music, literature and, of course, architecture that are expressed through this world view. This work is original and unique in it's scholarly and artistic presentation of Persian roots in both ancient and modern architecture. Perfect for the coffee table of enlightened readers and their guests.

A perfectly wonderful book, as inspirational now as when it was first published. The authors' eyes for captivating details stand out, as exemplified in their discussion of the design of spiral staircases based upon the angles at which morning glories send out their leaves following divine mathematics.

This book has influenced some of my favorite contemporary artists

The information contained in this book has influenced some of my favorite contemporary artists, like Monir Farmanfarmaian and Bill Viola. I faintly remember seeing the book as a child in Iran. I was reacquainted with "A Sense of Unity" in 2007 during the making of "The Night Journey", an experimental video game, when Mr. Viola brought his copy to a team meeting. He flipped through it, as he read passages and pointed to illustration, to help us understand how it changed his life when he first read it in his 20s.

Space and time in Persian architecture

This is an extraordinary study of the roots and history of Persian architecture, vividly illustrated. Two thousand years of space, form and culture and a discussion of the roots roots of it. Written in the time of the last Shah when the clergy was banished from government and Iran was leaping into the modern world. Where, I wonder, are the authors today?

Insensitive book binding.

Great content. But a very insensitively bound book. Difficult to read the text along the centre of the open page. It's a pity that most publishers don't pay attention to such details any more.
