Super Structures: The Science of Bridges, Buildings, Dams, and Other Feats of Engineering
Mark Denny
Employing history, humor, and simple physics to consider such topics as when to use screws or nails, what trusses are, why iron beams are often I-shaped, and why medieval cathedrals have buttresses, Denny succeeds once again in making physics fun.
