Using more than 50 examples from across the world, it introduces readers to a type of construction hardly anyone can resist. In many cases, bridges have become much-admired and attractive sites." "Besides allowing traffic to cross rivers and valleys, or between countries and even continents, bridges possess a deeper meaning. They were always historically significant places, the setting of military and political action as well as the scene of personal dramas. Bridges are hugely symbolic lifelines whose beauty and history are presented here alongside with stunning photographs and drawings."--BOOK JACKET.
