This reminds me of those fantastic books from when I was growing up with detailed pictures of castles and other buildings-- the amount of detail is stunning. But there's so much more!
I never really thought about the first bridges because it seems obvious now that when we can, we build something between two points to make it easier to get there. But humans saw other animals doing it first and the way we build bridges has changed so much over time.
This short book goes through all that, explaining things such as different materials and kinds of structures.
One of my favorite things was seeing other bridges around the world, like the longest and the highest. I'm afraid of heights but there's a tall bridge where I can pay someone to drive across for me!
This is a great book for home and school and a quality addition to every STEM collection.

This is a beautifully illustrated infographic-style book with fantastic information crammed (in a very organized way) into every page with bright colors. Perfect for children who are interested in engineering, trains, bridges, and learning! This is also great for STEM teachers to have as a reference book. The book even describes how to make a spaghetti bridge for a fun activity.

I highly recommend this book for all schools and libraries, and as a gift to a child or adult who would like this on their bookshelf!
