Synopsis

An illustrated book about Houston, in the U.S.A by Robin Dewhurst. Houston is a startling phenomenon even by Texas standards. From its foundation in 1836, by the Allen brothers, the city has rapidly mushroomed to become the nation's sixth larges city. Its skyline dazzles-gleaming 50-story skyscrapers soar high above the Texas plain-while high-speed expressways curve and twist through the sprawling metropolis that will become the world's largest city by the beginning of the 21st century-according to some estimates.
