Description
"Rich and readable...personal, witty and ironic." - Scientific American
For anyone who has ever wondered why suspension bridges don't collapse under eight lanes of traffic, how dams hold back—or give way under—thousands of gallons of water, or what principles guide the design of a skyscraper or a kangaroo, this book will ease your anxiety and answer your questions. Structures by J. E. Gordon strips engineering of its confusing technical terms, communicating its founding principles in accessible, witty prose.
