Since the War --Epilogue: After 9/11 --Bibliography --IndexThe Empire State Building is the landmark book on one of the world's most notable landmarks. Since its publication in 1995, John Tauranac's book, focused on the inception and construction of the building, has stood as the most comprehensive account of the structure. Moreover, it is far more than a work in architectural history; Tauranac tells a larger story of the politics of urban development in and through the interwar years. In a new epilogue to the Cornell edition, Tauranac highlights the continuing resonance and influence of the Empire State Building in the rapidly changing post-9/11 cityscape.ArchitectureNew York (State)New YorkNew York (N.Y.)Buildings, structures, etcElectronic books.Architecture974.7/1Tauranac John1939-1041583Kim SongheeMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464484703321The empire state building2465221UNINA
