Reviews

"""In an age where the history of architecture must respond to concerns over the environment, Elizabeth Musgrave's important and engaging account of John Dalton brings to light the innovations of one of 20th-century Australia's pioneers of climatically sensitive design."" --G. A. Bremner, University of Edinburgh, UK ""This book carefully unearths the fragile and divergent roots of an environmentalist discourse on the eve of a period often referred to as the age of ecology. Rigorously reconstructed by piecemeal evidence, Elizabeth Musgrave's work significantly contributes to the 'minor historiography' of an exemplary modernist architect who geared his practice towards Queensland's subtropical climate and the vernacular."" --Elke Couchez, University of Hasselt, Belgium"
