Bridges
, Didier Cornille presents
ten
of the most important
bridges
in the world, from the first in cast iron to the longest in prestressed concrete in the southern hemisphere, to the tallest in the world. Introducing each engineer or architect, the main concepts of
their
work, and some of
their
most important projects in charming drawings and accessible text,
Bridges
is a fun primer for readers of all ages interested in learning more about these magnificent structures. His detailed drawings of
bridges
and
their
