Louis Sullivan was a master thinker and master teacher whose lessons have stood - both physically and figuratively - the test of time.

The range of his writings are prolific: poetry, scholarship, culture, democracy, knowledge, and the art of expression. It is a museum of thought within a single book.

One of the most profound books I have ever read. (
