(2) YA This companion to the PBS series provides a sampling of architectural landmarks: bridges, tunnels, dams, domes, and skyscrapers. The engineering explanations are lucid and detailed, and the progressions from one architectural solution to others of increasing complexity reveal some social history along with technological developments. Detailed diagrams and close-ups sometimes omit a view of the entire project. Glos.
