The Brown campus has been described as a priceless jewel, an oasis in the middle of a great city... looking always as a college should look. Out guide for this look at the Brown campus is David Macaulay, noted author and illustrator, whose books on castles, cathedrals, and pyramids have been adapted for television on PBS. Macaulay's most popular book, "The Way Things Work," has sold millions of copies worldwide. We invite you to view one of America's historic campus landscapes through the lens of a camera and the eyes of one of America's best-known illustrators.
