Description
Spain owes its special historical position in Europe very largely to its intensive encounter with the Orient. Moorish-Andalusian art and architecture combine elements of various traditions into a new, autonomous style. This book describes the Great Mosque in Cordova and the Alhambra in Granada, the architectural witnesses to this achievement.

Description
In Building Wonders, Nova presents three groundbreaking shows that investigate engineering mysteries of the ancient world with the help of dramatic hands-on experiments. Modern architects use medieval tools to examine the Lost City of Petra in the middle of Jordan's desert, the vast Roman Colosseum, and Turkey's 1,500 year-old cathedral dome, Hagia Sophia.
