4.0 out of 5 stars
nice photo gallery,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bridges (Hardcover)
A nice photo gallery for anyone who ever saw a bridge (and not just the Golden Gate) as something more than a road on stilts. There must be around 150 or so bridges shown here. Many of the views are stunning, and one can curl up with the book for many hours.
There could be more in the way of technical explanation. One wonders why they chose, for a given site, a suspension or cantilever structure, or one of these new weird-shaped things. The book may be a bit too democratic in allotting just so much space to each bridge--the Golden Gate gets the same two pages as some homely box girders. For some bridges, additional photos of construction history might have been nice.
Regardless, it's an absorbing bunch of pictures, and you won't look at bridges, even those faded cantilevers down the road, the same way.
