Structures : Or Why Things Don't Fall Down Paperback / softback
by J. Gordon
Paperback / softback
Description
For anyone who has ever wondered why suspension bridges don't collapse under eight lanes of traffic, how dams hold back-or give way under-thousands of gallons of water, or what principles guide the design of a skyscraper or a kangaroo, this book will ease your anxiety and answer your questions.
J. E. Gordon strips engineering of its confusing technical terms, communicating its founding principles in accessible, witty prose.
