Review # 1 was written on 2008-02-02 00:00:00 Roshia Adams I read the hardback version... This book is an excellent tie-in to the BBC TV programme of the same name. Filled with historical data concerning The Great Easter, Bell Rock Lighthouse, Brooklyn Bridge, London Sewers, Transcontinental Railroad, Panama Canal and The Hoover Dam. It sounds dry... but what you read and learn will leave you amazed at the skill and injenuity of the engineers involved... and the often "labour of love" that their monumental projects were.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-11-22 00:00:00 John Kingsley Deborah Cadbury has a superb turn of phrase and the knack explaining complex engineering in a way that non specialists can understand.
