Sinopsis

Exploring the limits faced by engineers as they struggle to go further with everything they build, this book takes as its basis some of the world's most ambitious modern projects. These include the plans of Sir Norman Foster and Kazo Shimizu to build a tower block almost a kilometre high; Hugh Doherty's Jubilee Line extension tunnel; Jean-Jacques Huber's 1000-passenger airbus; Stephen Gorevan's challenging attempt to design a vehicle that can land on and analyze a comet; Niels Gimsing's record-breaking suspension bridge in Denmark; and Peter Cochrane's plans for a fibre-optic network to encircle the earth.

Descripci�n de la librer�a

BookLovers of Bath is based in the rural idyll of Peasedown St. John in Somerset (God's Own Country) in the south west of England and actually very nearly in Bath. After 20 years of being ?internet only? I have now opened a shop, Fact or Fable, in the premises of our now-closed Post Office. With over 10,000 books in my, recently shrunken, storage unit and another 5,000 or so in the shop I run an old-fashioned book business with every book listed, graded, picked, packed and posted by my own fair hand? abetted by my Jack Russells who are really, not, helpful.
