Maya Lin, Amazing Architect and Artist

Maya Lin by Mary Malone is about twenty-one year old Maya deciding her future career. Maya Lin was a developing architect who didn't favor war but she is significant because she designed the Veteran's Memorial, the Civil Rights memorial, and the Peace Chapel. Maya Lin was organized into sequential chapters with a Chronology at the end. Her most well-known achievement still lingers in mind because it was detailed and descriptive. Quotes, chapter notes, index, and a `Further Reading' section were also inserted. The book doesn't have a glossary and that's the weakness. Some words were complicated which made them difficult to comprehend. People who like art/sculpting will desire reading this book because Maya Lin was an architect. I thought that this book was awesome!
