Illustrated by
Roxie Munro.
Focusing on the builders and human drama behind some important structures, seven chapters span from 1422 Florence (Brunelleschi's cathedral dome) to early-twentieth-century New York (Van Alen's Chrysler Building). Munro's vibrant watercolor vignettes and full-page illustrations complement the text with their variety and appropriately altering perspectives. Bib.
