Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Pittsburgh has long been known for its physical might, a place where unmatched industrial prowess has helped propel the nation's progress. 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.
