His photographs of workmen casually moving about the nascent structure recall Lewis Hine's classic portraits of the Empire State Building and provide a stark contrast to his images of the finished project, with its luxurious apartments and commercial spaces." "An introduction by Yasmin Sabina Khan, the daughter of the building's celebrated engineer, provides a behind-the-scenes account of the design, construction, and reception of this landmark of modern architecture and engineering."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

John Hancock and Samuel Adams were an unlikely pair of troublemakers. Hancock was young and dashing. Adams was old and stodgy. But working together, they rallied the people of Boston against the unfair policies of Great Britain and inspired American resistance. And to King George, they became a royal pain. When the British army began marching toward Lexington and Concord, sending Hancock and Adams fleeing into the woods, the two men couldn't help but worry--this time, had they gone too far? Rich with historical detail and primary sources, this spirited tale takes readers through ten years of taxes and tea-tossing, tyranny and town hall meetings. The team behind Thomas Paine and the Dangerous Word reunites for a lively look at the origins of the American Revolution told through the powerful partnership of two legendary founders.
