But as the 21st century begins to unfold, what most people don't realize is that the city's power extends well beyond its industrial heritage. Highly adept at reinventing itself, the city now gleams as an undisputed leader in attracting and retaining corporate residents, developing emerging technologies, and maintaining a high quality of life. With hundreds of exciting images collected by photography editor Tom Bell, The Power of Pittsburgh elegantly showcases all facets of life in this Western Pennsylvania community. In addition, four of the area's corporate and civic leaders offer a unique perspective on the past successes and the ongoing initiatives that will sustain the city's vigor well into the new millennium. Rounding out the mix are more than 100 profiles of the community's foremost businesses and organizations, all of which have made a solid commitment to progress. Indeed, The Power of Pittsburgh offers a vivid portrait of a city--and a region--that is more vibrant, more progressive, and more powerful than ever before."; Urban Tapestry Series Series; 12.1 X 9.3 X 1.3 inches; 527 pages .

About Dr. Bookman - All Books Tightly Packaged in Cardboard
We have an eclectic array of used and out of print books for you in our inventory. Service is key to our relationship with you. You get \"Old School\" service with Dr. Bookman. We can\'t look at each other in the eye, shake each others hand, or walk into the shop the next day if we\'re disatisfied. I understand that vulnerability. You are purchasing a product sight unseen. That means I must be honest with you about exactly what you are buying. You might find my descriptions more detailed than most others, but when purchasing online, I want you to know exactly what you\'re buying. I don\'t want you to feel surprised when you open the box. And by the way, almost all of our books are shipped in cardboard packaging designed just for books. That means you get it the way it left here.
