13 Skyscrapers Children Should Know

48 pp. | Prestel | May, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-3-7913-7251-8 $14.95
(3) 4-6 This volume introduces over a century of urban architecture with striking photographs, key facts, running timelines, and descriptions of the skyscrapers' designs and constructions. The coverage of the thirteen selected buildings reveals broader political, economic, and social histories. Design choices for the series, such as asterisks for glossary terms, only slightly detract from an overall attractive and informative package. Glos.
