brief history of islamic art
http://www.youngartists.com/islamic.htm
I found that website about different architecture and structures that they considered art. I found it really cool how they showed all the different types of materials that they used such as: carpet, metal, silk, ceramics, etc.
And how they used Architecture for showing the different cultures as well as what they used art for.
The images posted were really nice and pretty to look at, and the details continue to blow my mind.

This book was really interesting to read, although I had not finished all of it, but I found the whole book posted online.
