Like its companion volume, Chicago Architecture and Design 1923 - 1993, this book was published in conjunction with an exhibit of the same name that was held at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1988, and also at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and the Deutsche Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt am Main.
There are numerous essays. covering topics such as the development of the skyscraper, the Burnham Plan, Louis Sullivan, etc.
This has a much better index than the later volume, as this one lists buildings as well as architects.
