Summary:

"Building a skyscraper requires more than steel and concrete--it takes a wide array of people, each with their particular skills. In Autobiography of a Skyscraper, legendary developer Francis Greenburger offers an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at the construction of Chicago's 1000M tower, describing the way almost 1,000 people--from concrete workers to concierges, architects to investors--transformed an empty lot into a 74-story landmark"-- Provided by publisher.
