Praise for THE HEIGHTS:
“In this lushly illustrated book, Ms. Ascher meticulously and lucidly deconstructs the design of manmade towers from the foundation on up to the imperatives of physical and psychological security in a terror-conscious society.” –NEW YORK TIMES
“Kate Ascher’s 2005 book, THE WORKS: ANATOMY OF A CITY, was essentially a wiring diagram of the city of New York—every city, really—intricately detailing the mechanics of urban infrastructure... Now Ascher’s back with another eye-widening piece of illustrated deconstruction, this one on the most enduring symbol of city life... THE HEIGHTS features more than 200 pages of explanations, diagrams, and remarkable stories.” – WIRED Magazine
“The book contains graphics that tell you everything about how buildings are designed, constructed, even lit.” –NEW YORK POST

Praise for THE WORKS:
“THE WORKS is both a reference guide and a geeky pleasure.” –TIME OUT NEW YORK
“It’s a rare person who won’t find something of interest in THE WORKS, whether it’s an explanation of how a street-sweeper works or the view of what’s down a manhole.” –NEW YORK POST
