Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Used - Good. In David Plowden's words, 'there is no more overt, powerful, or rational expression of accomplishment -- of man's ability to build.' And Americans, in particular, have excelled in this structural art. Bridges explores in depth how, when, where, and by whom the most important North American bridges were built, and, with Plowden's superb photographs, we can dwell on their most important engineering and aesthetic qualities. In his extensive text, Plowden vividly records the discoveries, misconceptions, struggles, failures, and triumphs of the men who dedicated their energies to bridge design and construction. Plans of many of the bridges are included to illuminate less obvious aspects of these engineering marvels. A number of the bridges herein have been lost and more have been built since. But this volume remains the most beautiful and powerful argument for our continued reverence for these wonderful structures. Used copy with wewar. Binding is tight no interior marks.

Book Description First edition and first printing. Hardcover. 328 pages. A collection of nearly 200 black and white photographs of bridges. A close to near fine copy in black cloth boards with some very faint foxing to the page edges in a very near fine dust jacket. A terrific book by this vastly underappreciated photographer.
