Thomas Leslie is the Pickard Chilton Professor of Architecture at Iowa State University. He is the author of Chicago Skyscrapers, 1871-1934.
"Thomas Leslie fills out [Nervi's] picture in a consistently
engaging manner."--Architectural Record
"A superbly conceived and argued presentation of the work of a
designer who commands a surprisingly meager bibliography despite
his historical importance, contemporary relevance, and stunning
corpus of masterful designs that are still prominent in the
cityscapes of two continents. In addition to reproducing rarely
seen documents Leslie has used them to create not only verbal but
visual analysis. His passion and commitment shine through the
text."--Barry Bergdoll, author of European Architecture: 1750–1890
