"Fascinating and informative...should be required reading for architects, engineers, and anyone who is interested in the special role of structural art in our technological society." Myron Goldsmith "David Billington brings the special insight of an engineer to the study of history. The result is a provocative analysis...bound to excite and instruct a wide variety of readers, from the casual buff to the professional scholar. The book is a delight to read." Merritt Roe Smith.
