700 Book Reviews TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE of each site’s history. It would have made more sense to group similar sites—bridges, lighthouses, hydropower, oil drilling and refining, and so on—and discuss them in the context of Texas’s history and development.

Sullivan's Skyscrapers as the Expression of Nineteenth Century Technology
(1856-1924) was the first great modern architect, the first to create a new and powerful vocabulary of forms derived from the major cultural determinants of his age. He was the most imaginative and the most articulate figure among a small group of creative men in Europe and America who, suddenly around 1890, struck out in a new direction with the deliberate intention of breaking once and for all with the traditional architectural forms of the
