Description
On this up to date addition to his popular Who Built That? series, Didier Cornille presents ten of crucial bridges on the earth, from the Brooklyn to the Golden Gate; from the first in cast iron to the longest in concrete; from small footbridges to the tallest on the earth. Cornille introduces every engineer or architect and the primary concepts of their work through charming step by step drawings and accessible text. Who Built That? Bridges is a fun primer for children of every age interested in learning about these implausible structures and the engineering and design concepts in the back of every one.
