The Industrial Archeologist
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Eric Delony has written a wonderful book. It is replete with the photos of our built heritage that few people will realize is valuable until it is long gone. This book is a continuation of Eric Delony's life-long dedication to Industrial Archeology -- a subject that has not received the interest that it deserves. Hopefully we will see more books from Eric on a variety of similar subjects in the future.
Famous to obscure bridges - good overview.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book provides an excellent overview of American bridge design. I particularly enjoyed the attention paid to little-known but important rural bridges over smaller waterways - a thoughtful review of structures that are ingenius, pragmatic and artful solutions to the problem of getting from point A to point B. The photography is good but could be better.
