David Macaulay’s early interest in how objects are constructed led to experiments in creating books. As author of the international best-seller 'The Way Things Work: From Levers to Lasers, Cars to Computers – A Visual Guide to the World of Machines' (1988), and most recently 'Mosque' (Houghton Mifflin, 2003), his books have won such distinctions as the Caldecott Medal and Honor Awards, the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award and an American Institute of Architects Medal.
