The story of the visionary drive that created an engineering marvel
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"[The Eads Bridge ] has long been recognized as one of the outstanding civil engineering accomplishments of 19th-century America...Jackson portrays Eads as an eccentric engineer with a dominating personality who was concerned more with building a unique and enduring monument than with keeping costs down and insuring timely completion and profitability. The research is thorough, the writing excellent." Choice
