When a kid wants to know about pyramids or castles introduce him\/her to Macaulay&#8217;s books. Macaulay dissects the parts in kid-obsessive detail while keeping his eye on the whole. And he shows how it all grows in time. His uncanny ability to x-ray complex places makes him the master guide to the built world. Of all his books, <em>Underground<\/em> is his most revelatory. Even adults will find themselves studying each page of &#8220;the city underneath the city&#8221; in aha enlightenment. Oh, so THAT&#8217;S how it works! Macaulay revisited three of his early books &#8212; <em>Castle<\/em>, <em>Cathedral<\/em>, and <em>Mosque<\/em>&#8212; creating new even more amazing visualizations, and combined the books into one new book called <em>Built to Last<\/em>. It&#8217;s a short course on civilization for kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Understanding big buildings<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[17],"tags":[2315],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12577"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12577"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12577\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12586,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12577\/revisions\/12586"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
