Item description from seller

First Edition. First printing. Fine, fresh, apparently unread copy in fine dust jacket. 512 pp. with bibliography, index. Illustrated with photographs. The story behind one of New York's (and indeed the world's) most well known sites, Rockefeller Center. Everything about the conception and creation of the complex of buildings was outsized and wildly improbable. Firstly, it was designed and constructed during the depths of the Great Depression. It was also orignally conceived as a philanthropic gesture by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. for the City of New York. Author Daniel Okrent skillfully weaves together the themes of money, politics, art, architecture, buisness and society to relate the story of the majestic site of buildings that came to dominate the heart of midtown Manhattan and with it, for a time, the heart of the world.
