Bridges of the World

Bridges connect people and cultures, offering access and communication or dividing them. They are both sturdy and fragile, with architectural styles and aesthetics. Ancient myths portray bridges as passages between worlds. Bridges often symbolize the stories of individuals with visions and determination to make a change, despite obstacles.

This book features fifty diverse bridges, including classics like the Old Bridge in Wales, Charles Bridge in Prague, and Golden Gate in San Fransisco; a precarious bridge between the Twin Towers by an acrobat; treasures rebuilt like the Mostar Bridge; and a frozen snow bridge between glaciers. It also includes stories accompanying these bridges, including legends, anecdotes, and the inspiring lives of those who designed, built, and crossed them.
