Skyscrapers is a lavish and appropriately soaring celebration of the world's most spectacular buildings.

This unique volume includes facts-at-a-glance for each building, visual comparisons of heights, and quotes from a variety of architects and experts--all accompanying stunning full-page photos of each structure.
