How the Twin Towers Came to Exist
The book gives a very detailed explanation of the planning and building of the WTC. I found it very easy to use as the engineering feats are described in layman's terms. I found the chapter explaining how it was difficult to get permission for the towers to be built very interesting. The final chapter details day to day life in the towers. Explaining all the support work that kept the buildings functional. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the construction and upkeep of these amazing buildings.
