Product Description

This work explores in depth how, when, where and by whom the most important North American bridges were built, and, with David Plowden's photographs, focuses on their most important engineering and aesthetic qualities. Plowden records the discoveries, misconceptions, struggles, failures and triumphs of the men who dedicated their energies to bridge design and construction. Plans of many of the bridges are included to illuminate less obvious aspects of these engineering marvels.
