Reach for this book when you notice your child staring at construction sites, sketching complex designs, or asking 'how' and 'why' about the massive structures that shape our landscape. It is the perfect tool for a young mind who needs more than just a surface-level explanation of the world. Jan Adkins uses a blend of history and engineering to explain how bridges connect more than just two pieces of land: they connect human ingenuity across centuries. This book honors the persistence and creativity of builders, showing that every massive achievement starts with a simple idea and a lot of trial and error. It is intellectually stimulating for the 9-14 age range, offering a sophisticated yet accessible look at how we overcome physical obstacles through science and art.
