Houses of worship have served as a benchmark for the heights of human achievement since time immemorial. This is particularly true of Islam, a religion whose structures proliferated across the world during the Islamic Golden Age, coterminous with the West's Dark Ages. While all mosques stem from a common tradition of reverence, differing sects, regions, and practices have led to many innovations, novel architectural forms, and marvels. Mosques is a journey across time and space that brings readers to the threshold of some of the world's most historically significant buildings of the fastest-growing and second-largest religion in the world. Handcrafted limited edition with silk cover in a luxury silk clamshell case.
