Jeffrey W. Cody. Exporting American Architecture, 1870–2000. (Planning, History, and the Environment Series.) New York: Routledge. 2003. Pp. xviii, 205. $39.95.
Gathering his evidence from a variety of architectural, construction, and foreign trade journals, Jeffrey W. Cody has written a useful but sketchy overview of the exportation of American architectural planning and construction practices between 1870 and 2000. Most of his examples come from the Caribbean, South America, and China, but he also touches on specific projects in Africa, Russia, India, Europe, and the Middle East. Indeed, given his attention to engineering, construction, and planning as well as to buildings, the book's scope goes well beyond its title.	1
The first two chapters document the exportation of new steel and concrete technologies at the end of the nineteenth and the start of the twentieth century. The focus is on manufacturers and construction companies such as the Pencoyd Iron Works of Pennsylvania, which built the Atbara Bridge near Khartoum, Sudan, in 1899, the Milliken Brothers Company from New York that built steel-framed department stores and factories in Cuba, Russia, and South Africa, and the Truscon Steel Company in Ohio that created a system of reinforced concrete for bridges and buildings in Italy, the Philippines, Australia, and China.	. . .
