Accounting for Business Management Book

This excellent biography of Louis Sullivan first published in 1962. It is unlikely to ever be superseded because the six Sullivan buildings have disappeared in the 52 years since Morrison's book appeared and because Morrison was able during his lifetime to have viewed another 7 Sullivan buildings that had also been demolished before he wrote his book. Future biographers will be forced to base their evaluations of these buildings on Sullivan's plans and the comments of architect critics from an earlier day including Morrison.

This is a readable coherent interpretation of Sullivan's work from the pen of a broadly acknowledged expert on the Chicago school of architecture. Morrison's analysis is in most ways similar to that of other noted authorities including Frnak Lloyd Wright who began his career in Sullivan's practice and Henry Russell Hitchcock. Without a doubt this is the Sullivan biography to read.
