In January 1973, Macaulay went to France to work on the first of his twenty-five books, \u003ci\u003e Cathedral\u003c\/i\u003e. He then constructed a colonial Roman town (\u003ci\u003eCity\u003c\/i\u003e, 1974), erected monuments to the Pharaohs (Pyramid, 1975), dissected the maze of subterranean systems below and essential to every major city (\u003ci\u003eUnderground\u003c\/i\u003e, 1976), built a medieval fortress (\u003ci\u003eCastle\u003c\/i\u003e, 1977), and dismantled the Empire State Building (\u003ci\u003eUnbuilding\u003c\/i\u003e, 1980). Macaulay is perhaps best known for \u003ci\u003eThe Way Things Work\u003c\/i\u003e (1988). It was followed by \u003ci\u003eBlack and White\u003c\/i\u003e (1990) for which he won the 1991 Caldecott Medal. A revised edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Way Things Work\u003c\/i\u003e was published in 1998 followed by \u003ci\u003eBuilding Big\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMosque\u003c\/i\u003e, and most recently, \u003ci\u003eThe Way We Work\u003c\/i\u003e (2008).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 10.2 x 6.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 14, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51770526662944,"sku":"9781626722156","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/0785b69d8560e41e3fedb2492593e10f.webp?v=1780373377","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/toilet-how-it-works-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
