Bali's culture is a blend of ancient traditions and influences from the outside world, with the Balinese sense of art expressed in their art and design, architecture and music. In this book, illustrations present a view of the architecture, interiors and objects that are the essence of Bali's style. From bamboo dwellings to contemporary Bali homes, from panoramic vistas to pictures of the elaborate stonework in Hindu temples - various aspects of this distinctive culture are examined. More than 200 full-page color photos capture the essence of the Indonesian island's architectural and interior design style, which ranges from relatively primitive bamboo dwellings to classy contemporary homes. Bali art forms are also included in a beautiful, detailed coverage of the Indonesian island's culture, history, and art. -- Midwest Book Review Used Book in Good Condition
