Book Overview
Astronauts on Apollo 13 averted disaster with the help of duct tape. The design of the Sydney Opera House was based on the segments of an orange. The Tacoma Narrows Bridge swayed so much it was nicknamed "Galloping Gertie." From genius designs to deadly design-flaws, the story of engineering is full of oddities and surprises. Fantastic Feats and Failures includes bridge and dome-building projects, and other activities to test your engineering know-how.

A Really Good Book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I thought this book would be boring because I am not generally interested in archetecture, but it wasn't. I found myself being absorbed and actually learning about a topic that I didn't know much about. I highly recommend this book and will share it with my students.
