Exceptional!! 29 Sep 2002

By R. C. King - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

The author's selection of these thirty bridges offers readers an insight into modern bridge design...many of the bridges are truly unique and stunningly beautiful. The gorgeous photographs and intelligently written text make this the best book of its kind that I have ever read. Must reading for every structural engineer!

A bridge lover's delight! 27 April 2002

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

The author has put together an elaborate study of 30 unique and interesting modern bridges. The discussion of each is quite detailed and often very technical but nonetheless very informative and well supported by beautiful photographs and elaborate diagrams. For anyone who has an interest in modern bridges this is an eye-opener. For the few of us who travel with bridges as destinations, this is a wonderful guide for future trips.

A great addition to my bridge book library! 29 Nov 2009

By Sandstone - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

Well written, well presented, well illustrated book, with a nice variety of bridges selected for inclusion. Overall highly recommended. For another excellent bridge book (maybe even a half-notch better than this one?) look at: Bridges: Three Thousand Years of Defying Nature by David J. Brown.
