This book fills a gap between picture books for elementary students
and technical books about bridges at the college level. It provides
a readable and comprehensive illustrated guide to bridges of the
world, with attention to different designs (arch, beam, truss,
cantilever, suspension, cable-stayed) and materials (wood, stone,
iron, steel, concrete, and even roots, grass, and plastic). Design
challenges, technical advances, and environmental concerns are
addressed with examples drawn from across the world and across the
centuries. Fun chapters include those on movable bridges,
pedestrian bridges, and bridge disasters. The style is friendly and
accessible.
