Beautiful pictures and interesting information about bridges. Bought this book because I saw one at an exhibit about bidges and wanted to be able to read more.

For the Bridge Lover!

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.

Fascinating book with great info and pictures

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!

A satisfying blend of striking photos and technical detail blended in with a history of bridge-build

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.
