""An Extension of the Dewey Decimal System of Classification Applied to Architecture and Building"" is a book written by Nathan Clifford Ricker in 1906. As the title suggests, the book is an extension of the Dewey Decimal System of Classification, which is a widely used system for organizing and categorizing books in libraries. Ricker applies this system to the field of architecture and building, offering a comprehensive classification scheme for books on these topics.The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of architecture and building. These sections include topics such as architectural history, design, construction, materials, and engineering. Within each section, Ricker provides detailed subcategories that allow for further refinement of the classification scheme.In addition to the classification system itself, the book also includes a wealth of information on the history and theory of architecture and building. Ricker draws on his extensive knowledge of these subjects to provide context and background for the classification scheme he has developed.Overall, ""An Extension of the Dewey Decimal System of Classification Applied to Architecture and Building"" is an important work for anyone interested in the field of architecture and building. It provides a comprehensive and well-organized system for categorizing books on these topics, as well as valuable insights into the history and theory of architecture and building.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
