Description

The major engineering pioneers whose works transformed America into the world's leading modern power, from Robert Fulton and his inventions of the steamboat to Thomas Edison's construction of the first electrical power network. Introduces each of the major figures and explains how they came up with their ideas and how their works tranformed commerce, industry, and society. From the Inside Flap The Innovators. A richly illustrated introduction to the engineering triumphs that made America modern. Praise for The Tower and the Bridge. "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.
