It was called ""A Dream Takes Flight: Hartsfield Atlanta International
Airport and Aviation in Atlanta"
I found it through Amazon's "2nd hand book". I actually got it from a
book-store in the interior of BC. It was published by University of
Georgia press I believe. (I don't have it with me.)
It does talk about the logistics side of it, but also the heavy
politics and how good-versus-evil broke through and built one of the
(in my opinion) most efficient and functional airports in the world.
(Beautiful still belongs to YVR, nothing is deserving of DFW.)

I think ATL is one of the only airports that has essentially (up until
the recent fifth runway) gotten smaller. ATL went from a intersecting
runway config to four parallel runways. And I do believe some old
runways are now taxi ways (the north middle taxi-way I believe.)

Has ORD been reconfigured from what it originally designed and built? I
think I remember seeing an old picture that had a different runway
config.
What other airports have been reconfigured?
