Item description from seller

The format is approximately 10 inches by 12 inches. 208 pages. Illustrated dust jacket. Illustrated endpapers. Black and White Illustrations. Index. This is a large, heavy book that if sent outside of the United States would require additional shipping charges. Foreword by Eric DeLony. The contents cover The Mechanical Age, The City Beautiful, Building Big, and The Postwar Era. Mr. Rosenbaum was a writer, designed, and regional planner. He was the author of Usonia: Frank Lloyd Wright's Design for America. He grew up in the second Usonian house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Rosenbaum house of 1940 in Florence Alabama. Eric DeLony was an architect and chief of the Historic American Engineering Record, a division of the National Park Service. He was a specialist in American bridge design and construction, especially metal truss bridges. A photoessay that chronicles of number of landmark buildings and projects while under construction from the 1860s onward, from the Washington Monument to the Chunnel [Channel Tunnel]. The author, Alvin Rosenbaum, was head of the Historic American Engineering Record. This work draws on journalist accounts, architects' records, and diverse archival sources to describe the progression of architectural and construction techniques. He discusses more than 80 structures, such as skyscrapers, public monuments, bridges, theaters, and stadiums, tracing the growth of landmark photography and historic preservation and providing key facts about each memorable, and often monumental, site. Derived from a Booklist item: At any construction site, notice the passersby pausing to watch the activity, trying to imagine the finished building's appearance. This handsome album is a repository for that human impulse, with artfully composed black-and-white photos of 85 structures during construction, bordered with one column of text. Most but not all are world renowned and stand in America: the government buildings and monuments that abound in Washington, D.C.; the famed commercial towers of New York and Chicago; conduits of transportation such as the Panama Canal, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Boston subway, or Route 66; individual dwellings from Wright's Fallingwater to a sharecropper's cabin; and a category of the plainly strange (but every compiler deserves to indulge a vice), such as the set of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington or Disneyland. Dramatic, aesthetic views lend this an eye-catching place for presentation in displays.…
