This book is an up-to-date reference to 101 of the world's tallest skyscrapers. It includes photos, plans, and details on architects, engineers and stakeholders, and comprehensive technical data on each building. The next wave of super-tall buildings is so impressive that a selection of projects currently under construction is presented in the second part of the book.

A visually exciting history of the development of the train network in the historical London Underground from 1863 to 1999 and the development of the escalators which move vast numbers of passengers from the streets of London, England to the platforms underground are explored. Over 70 phenomenal photos and some extraordinary illustrations (previously unpublished) are of the original tunnels being built as well as the Underground being used as shelters in the World War II Bombing raids on London.

This book traces the history of the passenger elevator in the U.S. from circa 1850 to 1900. The extensive research that went into this publication takes us from the technological origins of the freight hoists in England and the U.S. to the elevators and skyscrapers of 1880 - 1900. There are over 175 illustrations included as an added bonus!
