Broken stone and gravel roads are dissected, and the geology of stones used to make them is analyzed to explain their mechanical differences. An engineering history of road construction is chronicled, drawing examples from America, France and England to give context to the evolution of methods and designs for building roads. The volume also presents an analytic overview of trends in the application of technology and discusses the social and economic implications of modernizing infrastructure.
