Overview
See how a skyscraper is built from the ground up in this new and updated edition of a classic from Gail Gibbons, now available in Spanish!
From the architectural drawings to the foundation to ironworkers laboring 30 stories up, constructing a skyscraper from foundation to spire requires years of planning and lots of hard work! In this new Spanish edition of a beloved Gail Gibbons classic, readers will learn how skyscrapers are built step-by-step. The translation was derived from the newly revised English edition, which includes up-to-date building techniques and has been vetted by an expert.
On its initial publication in 1986, Up Goes the Skyscraper was commended by School Library Journal, which noted that the book “does a magnificent job of explaining a complex subject.” This new Spanish addition will bring Gail’s insights on building a high-rise to a whole new set of budding engineers and architects.
