Description

Before the Golden Gate Bridge was built, it was hard to imagine such a feat of engineering. This bridge would have to span a great distance over water, withstand earthquakes and high winds, and be built to last. Fortunately, poet and engineer Joseph Baermann Strauss had an idea. His conception and construction of the Golden Gate Bridge created one of the world's most beautiful and iconic structures. Readers will love learning about the history of the Golden Gate Bridge through high-interest text and brilliant photographs. This book is sure to empower the next generation of creators to tackle the things that seem impossible--and do it with style.
