"James Glanz and Eric Lipton write the biography of the World Trade Center towers from their dizzying rise to their horrifying, unforgettable fall and find that some of the same innovations that allowed such ambitious structures to be built became, years later, factors in their demise." [All 7 chapters of the biography are available online. ]
