Online : "...Adequate introductions, these volumes will be useful to students doing reports on landmarks. Though several books have been written about the Eiffel Tower, the Chunnel and Royal Gorge Bridge are seldom covered for this audience. Libraries will find these latter titles practical choices."
--Shauna Yusko, St. Monica School, Mercer Island, WA (June 2004)
Book Description
The world's most ambitious design and engineering projects of the past century gained almost instant international notoriety. Each required bold innovation, a unique vision, and many dedicated and courageous teams to make the plans a reality. These landmarks stand today, not only as symbols of their time and place, but also as a testament to the limitless ingenuity of the human spirit.
