This new flexi edition of an architectural and
historical journey across the world's greatest bridges explains why
these structures continue to fascinate us as examples of
engineering genius and artistic vision. Whether they span rivers or
harbors, cultures or countries, bridges have long been a symbol of
man's ingenuity and perseverance. Starting with ancient bridges
built by the Mongol and Roman Empires through today's most striking
examples of bridges, this book examines the world's most important
bridges and the history, legends, and people behind them.
Stunning, two-page spreads filled with photographs, plans,
drawings, and informative texts deepen readers' appreciation of the
science and technology of bridge-building. The book also introduces
historic events in which bridges have played a central role,
profiles the figures who commissioned and built the bridges, and
offers surprising reexaminations of some of the world's most
familiar bridges. From the glory of the Golden Gate Bridge through
the imposing presence of London's Tower Bridge to the grandeur of
the Millau Viaduct in France, Bridges That Changed the World is a
celebration of our steadfast desire to connect with and discover
the world around us.
