Architecture
Bridges of the World
by Marcus Binney (author)
Description
Bridges rank high among the world’s most loved landmarks. In Amazing Bridges Marcus Binney looks at bridges great and small around the world, illustrating examples of all dates and types, from the most ancient to the modern. It includes everything from suspension bridges made of grass strung between mountain gorges to innovative feats of engineering such as the bridge over the River Tyne, Newcastle, which opens and closes like an eyelid.
Illustrating up to 500 bridges of all times and places, spanning the continents, Amazing Bridges tells the stories of bridges – the people who built them, their role in peace and conflict, as well as the triumphs and tragedies that have befallen them through history.
