Wilkinson, Philip. Super Structures. New York: DK Publishing, 1996. J 624 W


This book describes some of the most incredible man-made structures on earth. Vivid color photos, detailed models and cross-sections show you how the structures were built and how they operate. Read about an airport built in the middle of Osaka Bay, a modern roller coaster, a nuclear reactor and more.

 
"They're not just structures, they're super structures! Structures that will turn your world upside-down: from arenas to world class banks, from motor boats to giant drills. This book shows you three dimensional diagrams. And, wow, did you know how many different types of bridges there are? From every screw to every nut, this book shows you everything."
