The Bridges of Pittsburgh
A nice overview of a key feature of one of my favorite cities. I'm neither a bridge aficionado nor an engineer, but the terminology was explained fairly clearly, and I was able to un-confuse myself when I hit something I didn't understand.
Lots of pictures and historical notes.
