Rather than regarding bridges as simply marvels of engineering, this pioneering book is "dedicated to the premise that bridges are architecture, and that bridges throughout history can be judged by the same esthetic standards that we apply to architecture." By Elizabeth Bauer Mock, a former curator of architecture at the Museum of Modern Art and Taliesin West Fellow. 128 pages with multiple B&W images.
