Richard Nickel (1928-1972) was not "just a photographer who happens to take pictures of buildings," as he modestly called himself. He was a soft-spoken missionary whose passionate one-man campaign to preserve Chicago's ornate 19th century architectural masterpieces--earmarked for destruction by Mayor Richard J. Daley in the name of progress--inspired a nationwide movement. Richard Cahan's superb biography of Nickel depicts the photographer's heroic and ultimately tragic struggle to salvage everything he could get his hands on, first with his trusty view camera and then with a hacksaw and chisel. 667593 1 6 1995 They All Fall Down: Richard Nickel's Struggle to Save America's Architecture total:13|5:7|4:5|3:1| 13 58 26 2 4 0 false false Wed Sep 05 18:49:26 -0700 2007 Sat Jan 05 10:19:46 -0800 2008 ...more...]]> 0 0 false false Tue Jul 28 08:46:58 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 28 08:47:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 16 09:07:30 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 09:07:30 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 01 19:38:02 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 01 19:38:02 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sun Sep 20 10:05:22 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 10:05:22 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Aug 01 22:07:05 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 01 22:07:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 01 12:29:09 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 01 12:29:18 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Tue Oct 14 08:44:37 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 14 08:45:00 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Jun 05 08:03:59 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 05 08:04:09 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue May 27 12:56:24 -0700 2008 Tue May 27 12:56:38 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri May 02 14:12:28 -0700 2008 Fri May 02 14:12:33 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun Apr 06 07:28:57 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 06 07:28:57 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Apr 04 23:44:11 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 04 23:44:11 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri Mar 28 12:44:01 -0700 2008 Sun May 04 22:35:33 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Thu Mar 13 21:46:43 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 13 21:46:43 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Feb 27 17:14:02 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 27 17:14:47 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Feb 07 15:51:37 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 07 15:51:37 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Wed Dec 12 20:12:58 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 12 20:13:07 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Sat Dec 08 19:59:49 -0800 2007 Sat Dec 08 19:59:49 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Fri Dec 07 20:19:57 -0800 2007 Fri Dec 07 20:20:04 -0800 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=681200
