About This Item
Barnsley: Pen & Sword Transport, 2019. Bridges have a universal appeal as examples of man's mastery of nature, from picturesque packhorse bridges to great spans stretching across broad estuaries, and the development of the technology that allows ever more audacious constructions is never-ending. Of the million or more bridges throughout Great Britain, David McFetrich has selected those that are significant in terms of their design, construction or location, or of their connections with people or events of history. His definitive book contains 1,600 separate entries for individual bridge sites or related groups of bridges covering more than 2,000 different structures, 165 general entries about different types of bridge and such topics as collapses and failures, and a summary of about 200 record-holding bridges in 50 different categories. The concise text is supported by more than 900 illustrations and diagrams.. The result is a fascinating and readily accessible compendium. The Institute Of Civil Engineers (ICA) are also on board.. Hard Cover. New/New. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
