Neuware - This elegant photography book showcases three centuries of architectural design with 360-degree panoramic photographs.Civic Architecture Across America: Extraordinary Views highlights the work of renowned architectural photographer Thomas R. Schiff and features over 120 of his panoramic photographs of the interior and exterior spaces of civic buildings throughout the country.

The book unfolds regionally, beginning with a tour of our nation's capital and its most iconic locations, such as the Lincoln Memorial and the Library of Congress Reading Room, photographed as you have never seen before. Readers then travel to town, city, and state buildings, including Indigenous sites and the edifices they influence today, in each region of the country, where they will meet an expert who shares their perspective on Schiff's imagery and the architectural uniqueness of these sites, the changes they have undergone, and the considerations that go into building them.

It includes a foreword from Governor Mike DeWine of Ohio, an introduction by Richard Guy Wilson, and essays by Benjamin Bross, Manuel Cordero, Bradford C. Grant, and Jeff Tilman.…
