Bridges- Heroic Designs That Changed The World

Bridges are among the most inspiring of all human endeavours. Boldly arching across space, they push the boundaries of the possible to connect and define the places in which we live. Lavishly illustrated in colour and black and white, this passionate and erudite book takes the reader on an exhilarating world tour of these technological and aesthetic triumphs, from the Brooklyn Bridge to the Bridge of Sighs, from the awe-inspiring Roman Pont du Gard to the ultra-modern Millau Viaduct.
