Product Description
Former Chicago Tribune journalist Kenan Heise explores the growing beauty of Chicago with descriptions, facts, and full-color pictures. Chicago the Beautiful not only celebrates the world-famous wonders of Chicago, but also reveals the city's hidden sources of beauty, from its lesser-known architectural masterpieces to its oft-overlooked parks and gardens, to its newest beautification projects still in the works. For tourists, Chicago natives, and anyone with an interest in the Windy City, it's both an informative guide to the area's treasures and an inspirational look at a city revitalized.

Reader Reviews
As a native Chicagoan, this book was a revelation to me. I had no idea how much the city had changed since I left 5 years ago. Millions of dollars have been spent to affect an "Environmental Renaissance" - new 'green' zones, wildlife habititats, rooftop gardens, etc. The photography is breathtaking, and the writing is almost conversational. If anyone knows Chicago better than Kenan Heise, let him or her speak up! If you are a Chicagoan, this book will introduce you to a city you never knew. If you aren't from the city, this book may convince you to move there!
