"Rising majestically above the hubbub of crowded cities or standing in solitude against a natural backdrop, skyscrapers captivate the eye, excite the imagination, and inspire awe. Wonders of creativity and ingenuity, they embody the best of our practical achievements and reflect our highest aspirations." "This magnificent chronological tour of the world's tallest buildings - thoroughly revised and updated since its initial publication, and featuring cutting edge work by today's international superstars of architecture - stands as the most thorough, authoritative, and eye-popping book on the subject, as dramatic in presentation as the structures it celebrates."--Jacket
