Even among grownups, bridges fascinate us as much now as when were kids. Here Didier Cornille presents ten of the most important bridges from the past 200 years, including the Brooklyn, Golden Gate, Forth, and Sydney Harbour Bridges, as well as the Millau Viaduct and Calgary's futuristic 2012 Peace Bridge. A full 13 inches wide, with pages that flip up instead of over, this stylish guide introduces readers 9 to 12 to each engineer or architect and the main concepts of their work through short texts and delightful step by step drawings.
