内容紹介
Whether they span rivers or harbours, cultures or countries, bridges have long been a symbol of man's ingenuity, perseverance and thirst for exploration. Starting with ancient bridges built by the Mongol and Roman Empires through future bridges that exist only in blueprints, this volume travels the globe to examine 50 of the world's most important bridges and the history, legends and people behind them. In two-page spreads containing photographs, plans, drawings and text, this architectural and historical journey explains why bridges continue to fascinate us, both as examples of engineering genius and artistic vision. It reveals little-known facts that should deepen our appreciation of the science and technology of bridge-building, introduces historic events in which bridges have played a central role, and offers re-examinations of some of the world's most familiar bridges. From the glory of the Golden Gate, San Francisco, to the grace of the Ponte Vecchio, Florence, the imposing presence of London's Tower Bridge to a stone structure in Afghanistan's Quala Panji that is still used today, this volume is a celebration of our steadfast desire to connect with and discover the world around us.

A satisfying blend of striking photos and technical detail blended in with a history of bridge-building around the world

Over fifty famous bridges and their stories are gathered in a survey which will appeal to a far wider audience than the usual specialty bridge book. Here is a satisfying blend of striking photos and technical detail blended in with a history of bridge-building around the world. The real surprise lies in a lively writing style paired with discussions of bridges in regions which usually don't receive much mention, such as a sand-cast iron bridge in Coalbrookdale from the 1700s or the 1800s Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol.

I bought this book for my son who is almost 5. He is fascinated by bridges. So I got this book for him and he loves it. It has some really unique bridges with great pictures. (He likes it mostly for all of the pictures, but he will ask what country they are from, etc). I also find it interesting because they have detailed descriptions regarding the bridges.
So this is a great book, even if you have never had interest in bridges. Kids like it too!

I purchased this book for my son who had a love for suspension bridges and he adores this book. It has wonderful pictures and has given him hours of enjoyment learning of not only suspension bridges but all kinds from all over the world. Very durable hardcover and wonderful pictures.
