 The World Trade Center: A Tribute represents a pictorial documentation that traces the efforts of mayors and politicians over the years to pave the way for what was to eventually become the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York, New York.  That said, the World Trade Center twin towers could never have been more than a dream without the vision and hard work of a brilliant group of planners, engineers and builders.  In constructing the World Trade Center, everyone involved not only accomplished that task, they in the process created an epicenter of growth and success for people all over the world.  The fact is, from investment bankers to portfolio traders, the leaders of the capitalist business world made deals that impacted the lives of all other nations and peoples worldwide.  "The World Trade Center: A Tribute" transitions towards the end of the book into one of tribute to the many workers and first responders who perished as a result of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center twin towers on September 11, 2001.  While they succeeded in destroying the World Trade Center buildings and killing thousands of innocent victims, the twin towers will inspire future generations of Americans as the summit of architectural ambition and the highpoint of human achievement.  The planning and construction of these buildings will, without a doubt, represent more than just a footnote in the architectural history of giant "sky-scrappers".  Paradoxically, the building of the World Trade Center twin towers represented the best of what mankind is capable of while their destruction revealed the horror and darker side of humanity.  The major sections of "The World Trade Center: A Tribute" are as follows: 1) Foreword; 2) Prologue; 3) Chapter 1 - The Heritage; 4) Chapter 2 - The Plan; 5) Chapter 3 - The Life; 6) Chapter 4 - The Aftermath; 7) Dedication and 8) Acknowledgments.  In addition to an informative narrative, "The World Trade Center: A Tribute" includes the following features: 1) Approximately 53 black and white photographs and 2) 80 color photographs.  This book is 96 pages and is in excellent condition.  The author is Bill Harris.  Edition published in 2001.
