World Atlas of Towers in Space and Time

The World Atlas of Towers is a brief history of humanity, its aspirations, and its achievements. The Tower of Babel, the tower of Himeji Castle, the Sukharev Tower, the Spasskaya Tower, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and even the audaciously conceived but unbuilt Tatlin's Tower… - all towers with diagrams revealing their secrets.
