In more than 150 photographs, drawings, and plans--most never seen
by the public--Judith Dupre chronicles the rise of America's most
exciting and emotionally charged new skyscraper. One World Trade
Center showcases the building's groundbreaking design and
engineering, from the initial excavation to the final placement of
the spire. Capturing the hope, resiliency, and pride of those who
built it, the book is rich with in-depth explorations of the
innovations, including a 360 degree view from the One World
Observatory. The nation is eagerly awaiting the public opening of
One World Trade Center in 2015, and One World Trade Center will be
the ultimate insider guide to the building that will transform the
skyline of New York City.
