Description: The skyscraper is the most extravagant symbol of the modern city, evolving in the space of a century from a seemingly humble 10-story building to one with an astounding 110 floors - and still rising. Skyscrapers is a fascinating book, filled with superb photography, lavish artwork, and informative text, that brings these striking structures to life and connects the buildings with the people who construct them and those who work in them.
