From abandoned structures that have long ceased to take you
anywhere to today's feats of engineering, Bridges is a pictorial
celebration of 150 suspension bridges, iron bridges, stone bridges,
aqueducts, viaducts, railway bridges, footbridges and rope bridges.
Organised in sections such as abandoned bridges, classic bridges
and superstructures, the book contains an immense range of wooden,
stone, iron, steel and concrete bridges. There are tiny village
bridges and vast bridges, narrow bridges and motorway-wide bridges,
bridges that act as dams and bridges that support buildings,
covered bridges, famous bridges and little-known gems. From San
Francisco's Golden Gate bridge to the 21st century Millau Viaduct
in France - the tallest bridge in the world, from the Roman
aqueduct in Segovia, Spain, to farmers still building bamboo
bridges, the book draws examples from all over the world. Ranging
from the Rocky Mountains to Siberia and Iran, a picture emerges of
not only how new technologies have made it possible for bridges to
be built, but also how bridges have themselves been catalysts for
social change. And when they have been abandoned, such as in former
gold rush towns, these bridges tell their own stories of how the
world moves on. Presented in a landscape format and with 150
outstanding colour photographs, Bridges is a stunning collection of
images.
