Focusing on the woven arch bridge, the book traces histories of the bridge in different cultures, investigates Chinese cases and gives insights into its typology and evolution and differences between East Asian and European bridges. The author argues that the bridge's existence in different cultures is evidence of a kind of "universal uniqueness".
