Summary: A remarkable building remembered
Review: I always had a dream to go up in the world trade center. This dream was violently and ruthlesly shattered on the day of 9/11. Now this book in question, i.e., The World Trade Center Remembered by Sonja Bullaty (Photographer), et al is a fitting tribute to one of the marvels of modern architecture. Highly Recommended.

Summary: Healing
Review: I feel these books of stories and photos of the people who experienced this tragedy first hand is important for all of us.
The people who lived through it get to see what the rest of the world saw. A look of what they went through which can help them validate the emotions they are feeling.
The folks that witnessed it from a distance get a closer look of what our fellow americans went through.
All of it is a healing process that we need and looking at it through pictures or written stories of our friends will help us understand our human bond living in this beautiful country.

Summary: A beautiful WTC remembrance!
Review: I love this book! It is full of lovely pictures of the World Trade Center, taken from every vantage point over a 27 year period. I was thrilled to receive this as a gift, since it vividly captures the towers as I remember them, and it doesn't include any of the horrific images of 9/11(just a picture of the NYC skyline, with the WTC gone, post-9/11). I have worked near the WTC and commuted through it for years, and am very pleased to have this book as a remembrance of better times. I really recommend it--the pictures are fabulous!

Summary: An excellent tribute...
Review: The pictures contained in this book offer a stunning tribute to the memory of the World Trade Center towers. The photos are taken from many different locations and angles and give the reader a well-rounded viewpoint of the buildings. All of the photos in the book portray the towers as they existed before their destruction, which makes the book particularly poignant. Additionally, there is a remarkable essay by an architechture critic which adds depth to the book. My only complaint with this book is that it is soft-cover. Of course, I knew this when I ordered the book, but oversize books of this quality are generally in hard-cover. Regardless, this is an amazing book.
