Description: About this productProduct InformationIn this hugely appealing book, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, acclaimed author and journalist Daniel Okrent weaves together themes of money, politics, art, architecture, business, and society to tell the story of the majestic suite of buildings that came to dominate the heart of midtown Manhattan and with it, for a time, the heart of the world. At the center of Okrent's riveting story are four remarkable individuals: tycoon John D. Rockefeller, his ambitious son Nelson Rockefeller, real estate genius John R. Todd, and visionary skyscraper architect Raymond Hood. In the tradition of David McCullough's The Great Bridge , Ron Chernow's Titan , and Robert Caro's The Power Broker, Great Fortune is a stunning tribute to an American landmark that captures the heart and spirit of New York at its apotheosis.Product IdentifiersPublisherPenguin Publishing GroupISBN-100142001775ISBN-139780142001776eBay Product ID (ePID)30790314Product Key FeaturesBook TitleGreat Fortune : the Epic of Rockefeller CenterAuthorDaniel OkrentFormatUnited Kingdom-B Format PaperbackLanguageEnglishTopicUrban & Land Use Planning, Rich & Famous, United States / State & Local / Middle Atlantic (DC, De, Md, NJ, NY, Pa), United States / 20th Century, United States / Northeast / Middle Atlantic (NJ, NY, Pa), History / GeneralPublication Year2004GenreBiography & Autobiography, Travel, Architecture, HistoryNumber of Pages560 PagesDimensionsItem Length9.3in.Item Height1.1in.Item Width6.2in.Item Weight21.4 OzAdditional Product FeaturesAge Range18-UpGrade fromTwelfth GradeGrade toUp
