The BLDG BLOG Book

Geoff Manaugh's BLDG BLOG is unlike any other blog you'll read, and his BLDG BLOG Book is unlike any other item on our shelves. He's equally, insatiably curious about the actual environments we build for ourselves and the fantastic ones we imagine, and he's most fascinated when the two—the real and the imaginary—come together, whether it's in unexplored sewers or planned Mars outposts. Packed with evocative photos and diagrams and mind-expanding essays, The BLDG BLOG Book is six years old now, but it still seems decades ahead of its time. —Tom Old Book of the Week
