Product Description

Author Chris Morris is a photographer and it is the unrivalled collection of
modern images that define this book; accompanied by concise text Brunel's
story leaps to life as living history with the great engineer's works and
artefacts intermingling with ongoing twentyfirst century life. For a man whose life was totally dedicated to his work, this approach could be said to be a visual biography.

The book's title, THE GREAT BRUNEL, is a reflection of the regard in which
Brunel is held today and the certainty with which he named his own projects
(the Great Western Railway, the 'Great' steamships).

In his introduction Sir Neil Cossons, former Chairman of English Heritage, says of the photography: "from the grand gesture to the minute detail ... Chris Morris offers an extraordinary visual feast"
