This history of skyscrapers examines how these tall buildings
affected the cityscape and the people who worked in, lived in, and
visited them. Much of the focus is rightly on the architects who
had the vision to design and build America's skyscrapers, but
attention is also given to the steelworkers who built them, the
financiers who put up the money, and the daredevils who attempt to
""conquer"" them in some inexplicable pursuit of fame. The impact
of the skyscraper on popular culture, particularly film and
literature, is also explored.
