Ann Marie Borys is Associate Professor in the Department of Architecture at the University of Washington, USA.

'Borys's study offers an important new insight into Scamozzi's work and thus provides us with a richer and more nuanced understanding of the often-too-generic idea of the Palladian style - an approach which was widespread in seventeenth-century Italian and northern European architecture. Historical geographers concerned with landscape, place, and architecture will find much to value in Borys's volume.' Journal of Historical Geography
