Reviews
Thomas Leslie fills out [Nervi's] picture in a consistently engaging manner. --Architectural Record A superbly conceived and argued presentation of the work of a designer who commands a surprisingly meager bibliography despite his historical importance, contemporary relevance, and stunning corpus of masterful designs that are still prominent in the cityscapes of two continents. In addition to reproducing rarely seen documents Leslie has used them to create not only verbal but visual analysis. His passion and commitment shine through the text. --Barry Bergdoll, author of European Architecture: 1750-1890
