Publisher's Synopsis

Traversing five continents, this overview gathers images of some of the world's most important and impressive bridges and examines their history, their purpose, and, when applicable, the technological advances that made them possible. Bridges like the Brooklyn Bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Stari Most in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Japan's Kintai Bridge, and the Si-o-se Pol in Iran demonstrate that, far from being mere utilitarian constructions, bridges can come to represent whole cities and even countries and have an undeniable beauty all their own.

Atravesando cinco continentes, esta visión general reúne imágenes de algunos de los puentes más importantes e impresionantes y examina su historia, su propósito y, cuando relevante, los avances tecnológicos que los hizo posible. Puentes como el de Brooklyn, el Golden Gate de San Francisco, el Stari Most en Bosnia y Herzegovina, el Kintai en Japón y el Si-o-se Pol de Irán demuestran que, lejos de ser meras construcciones utilitarias, los puentes pueden llegar a representar ciudades enteras y hasta paìses y tener una belleza innegable.
