Skylight
by Jack DriscollSpring break. Phoebe was home, and she and Buddy were at last together again, climbing the dark stairs to her father's observatory. Under the skylight, Buddy was bursting: I stared beyond her at the hook of the moon, and at the millions of stars, and I don't know why, but I was tempted to wave, as though I were saying hello or good-bye. Which is what Phoebe complained we were always doing. She and Buddy were at schools far apart, Phoebe in college in Massachusetts, he a senior in high school in northern Michigan. Socially they were far apart too. Phoebe's odd and vivid family was used to privilege. Buddy's widowed father, who worked nights at the local tire plant, distrusted privilege and wanted Buddy to do the same. Buddy wanted out, period--and Phoebe was his way. Come June, he'd move east with her, get a scholarship, have it made. He was smart enough. But no matter who else happened in his life after that--Leo Tomashek, who drove a Ding Dong ice cream truck; Lynette Wallaker, slow dancing in a dream; Johnny Huskey, owner of the Sunoco station back home--there was always his father, and the pull of the heart. Hello and good-bye are just the beginning.

The Skyscraper Book
by James Cross GiblinDid you know the first skyscraper was built almost 100 years ago? For centuries men had dreamed of buildings tall enough to scrape the sky. But it wasn't until 1880 that a young architect in Minneapolis drew the first plans for structures with steel skeletons strong enough to support 20, 50, or even 100 stories. He called the buildings "cloud scrapers." And then in 1884 the first skyscraper was built in Chicago. It was only a 10-story structure, but it paved the way for giant buildings to come. This book tells the stories of the tallest, most famous, and most influential skyscrapers, from the earliest ones in Chicago to the new office towers rising in our cities today. It points out the beauty of skyscrapers - and sometimes their ugliness. It explores the urban problems skyscrapers have helped to solve, and others they've helped to create. Striking photographs and detailed line drawings convey the visual impact skyscrapers have made upon our cities - and our lives.
