A fun-filled tour through ten of the most important bridges by the greatest architects of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

 

In this latest addition to his popular Who Built That? series, Didier Cornille presents ten of the most important bridges in the world, from the Brooklyn Bridge to the Golden Gate; from the first one built with cast iron, to the longest one in concrete; from small footbridges to the tallest in the world. Cornille presents each engineer or architect and the main concepts of their work through charming step-by-step drawings and an easy-to-read text. Who Built That? Bridges is a fun introduction for children of all ages interested in learning about these incredible structures and the engineering and design concepts behind each one.
