ISBN: 9780292729223 / Angielski / Miękka / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. Why does one talented individual win lasting recognition in a particular field, while another equally talented person does not?

The "something more" in the field of architecture, asserts Roxanne Williamson, is the association with a "famous" architect at the moment he or she first receives major publicity or designs the building for which he or she will eventually be celebrated. In this study of more than six hundred American architects who have achieved a place...
