Bridges, fittingly, looks at "75 most spectacular bridges" of all styles from all over the world. Many types of bridge are covered, but the most common are arch, suspension, and cable-stayed. Each bridge is given two pages, with a full-color photograph on one and a short description with smaller pictures on the other.
This is a quick and fun read. It was fun to learn about bridges we've come across in our travels, see unique bridge designs, and marvel at the engineering and scale of some of the world's biggest. I ding the work only because it could have spent a few pages giving the reader more background in bridge terminology and commonly-faced design challenges. That said, it's a nice book.
