"A narrative that spans seven millennia, five continents and even reaches into cyberspace. . . . I savored each page." —Henry Petroski, Wall Street Journal In Fallen Glory, James Crawford uncovers the biographies of some of the world's most fascinating lost and ruined buildings, from the dawn of civilization to the cyber era. The lives of these iconic structures are packed with drama and intrigue, featuring war and religion, politics and art, love and betrayal, catastrophe and hope. They provide the stage for a startling array of characters, including Gilgamesh, the Cretan Minotaur, Agamemnon, Nefertiti, Genghis Khan, Henry VIII, Catherine the Great, Adolf Hitler, and even Bruce Springsteen. The twenty-one structures Crawford focuses on include The Tower of Babel, The Temple of Jerusalem, The Library of Alexandria, The Bastille, Kowloon Walled City, the Berlin Wall, and the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. Ranging from the deserts of Iraq, the banks of the Nile and the cloud forests of Peru, to the great cities of Jerusalem, Istanbul, Paris, Rome, London and New York, Fallen Glory is a unique guide to a world of vanished architecture. And, by picking through the fragments of our past, it asks what history's scattered ruins can tell us about our own future. "Witty and memorable . . . moving as well as myth-busting." — Times Literary Supplement (UK) "[An] elegant, charged book . . . A well-written prize for students of history, archaeology, and urban planning." — Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Astute, entertaining, and affecting." — Booklist "A lovely, wise book." —Alexander McCall Smith, New Statesman (UK) "A cabinet of curiosities, a book of wonders with unexpected excursions and jubilant and haunting marginalia." — Spectator (UK)

Buildings are more like us than we realise. They can be born into wealth or poverty, enjoying every privilege or struggling to make ends meet. They have parents -- gods, kings and emperors, governments, visionaries and madmen -- as well as friends and enemies. They have duties and responsibilities. They can endure crises of faith and purpose. They can succeed or fail. They can live. And, sooner or later, they die. In Fallen Glory, James Crawford uncovers the biographies of some of the world's most fascinating lost and ruined buildings, from the dawn of civilisation to the cyber era. The lives.

In the deepest level of the dungeon known as the Gate of the Otherworld, Shin was locked in battle. His opponent: the final boss of THE NEW GATE, a VRMMO that had transformed into a deadly death game. After a fierce and grueling fight, Shin emerged victorious, freeing the trapped players from their digital prison. But just as relief washed over him, a mysterious door at the heart of the dungeon suddenly opened-and in the next moment, Shin lost consciousness. When he came to, what lay before him was the world of THE NEW GATE-not the game, but the real thing.

2003 2005 Poet of the Year Shakespeare Award of Excellence recipient The Love Scrolls Seven The Love Scrolls is an epic to literally sweep you off of your feet. I love therefore, I'm forever. As Shakespeare shall write of his kings, so I shall write of mine. We shall cover the ground with love's growth, and upon the earth with love's tree we shall sod, Spreading its fruit in abundance unto a lover, unto our brother, unto each other, and unto God. Shore up your works, with faith and love guild, For these are the only eternal substances from which mankind is allowed to build. Cover artist: April Sampson Graphic artist: Tate Krupa
