So pleased to read this advance review of my new book, Dwelling on Earth, in @LibraryJournal @wwnorton
"well-written, well-illustrated, and filled with fascinating anecdotes." (starred review)

Grateful for this thoughtful review: “Al conscientiously illustrates not only how and why our ingenious forebears built their homes, towns and cities, but he also reminds us how and why their improvident nature wrought persistent failures along the way.” @wwnorton

A nice review of Dwelling on Earth just ran in the South China Morning Post — the city where I lived for 3 years.
"A brisk, entertaining survey that manages to compress 2 million years of human habitation into 258 pages."
Many thanks to @dewolfleloup !
