Bridges: The science and art of the world's most inspiring structures
Blockley, David (Emeritus Professor and Senior Research Fellow, University of Bristol)
Bridges are remarkable structures. Often vast, immense, and sometimes beautiful, they can be icons of cities. David Blockley explains how to read a bridge, how they stand up, and how engineers design them to be so strong. He examines the engineering problems posed by bridges, and considers their cultural, aesthetic, and historical importance.
