内容简介 This guide transports the reader on an amazing journey, exploring an array of forts and castles from around the world. It examines familiar structures such as the Norman motte and bailey castles found in Britain and parts of Europe and also looks at the "natural" castles found in Turkey, fortifications created by earth movements over the centuries. Also explored are the compact Maori forts of New Zealand which contrast with the vast American forts of the colonial period, Syrian crusader castles, Indian forts, Germany's "fairy-tale" castles and architectural marvels such as Japan's Himeji castle. Information panels throughout lead the reader to further discovery and each chapter offers Website links, book lists, places to visit and career information.
