With the completion of the world's first skyscraper in Chicago in 1885, the modern city skyline was born. A result of American technology and ingenuity, the 180-foot steel-framed Home Insurance Building rose above the city, and Americans have been reaching higher ever since. Featured in this volume are full-color photographs over two-and-a-half feet long with historical photographs and bird's-eye-view maps showcasing the skylines of 48 great American cities. From historic Boston to glittering Las Vegas, to sophisticated Dallas, and steamy Miami, Skylines: American Cities Yesterday and Today offers a memorable look at the United States's rich history, remarkable diversity, and dramatic beauty.
224 pages, 300 illustrations (95 in full color), 17 1/2 in. x 12 1/2 in. Hardcover; clothbound, with jacket.
