From New York Times best-selling author Judith Dupréomes a revised and updated edition of Bridges, her magnificent chronological tour of the world`s most significant and eye-popping spans. Covering thousands of years of architectural history, each bridge is gorgeously photographed `elevating the landmarks from mode of transportation to works of art` (Bustle).

Technological advances, structural daring, and artistic vision have propelled the evolution of bridge design around the world. This visual history of the world`s landmark bridges has been thoroughly revised andupdated since its initial publication twenty-five years ago, and now showcases well-known classics as well as modern innovators. Bridges featured include:
The Brooklyn Bridge (New York)
Dany and-Kunshan Grand Bridge (China)
Gateshead Millennium Bridge (England)
The Golden Gate Bridge (San Francisco)
Zakim Bridge (Boston)


Including all-new photographs and the latest cutting edgework from today`s international superstars of architecture and engineering, Bridges covers two-thousand years of technological and aesthetic triumphs, making it the most thorough, authoritative, and gorgeous book on the subject-as dramatic in presentation as the structures it celebrates. Breathtaking photographs capture the bridges` details as well as their monumental scale; architectural drawings and plans invite you behind the scenes as new bridges take shape; and lively commentary on each structure explores its importance and places it in historical context. Throughout, informative profiles, features, and statistics make Bridges an invaluable reference as well as a visual feast.
