"Carefully leveled text and engaging full-color photos introduce early fluent readers to the world's most amazing bridges while explaining the engineering behind their creation. Includes activity, glossary, and index."

This title discusses how bridges are built, including engineering, design and construction.

"The 21st Century Junior Library Extraordinary Engineering series explains how important feats of engineering are accomplished. Bridges examines the engineering concepts that make these critical structures possible. Sidebars encourage readers to engage in the material by asking deeper questions or conducting individual research. An activity, full color photos, a glossary, and a listing of additional resources all enhance the learning experience"--...

"Bridges are some of the most fascinating structures in our landscape. "From towering suspension bridges to humble stone crossings, this book visits them all in sweet, bouncing text with expository sidebars. But while bridges can be quite grand, this reminds us that their main purpose is bringing people together"--

This book explores and explains how to calculate length, weight, and volume through the consideration of bridges around the world. Includes math problems involving famous arch bridges, beam bridges, suspension bridges, and cable-stayed bridges, in addition to relevant, historical information about each bridge.

"Kids will learn about different types of bridges with Engineer It! Bridge Projects. They will discover how bridges are built. Then, build their own suspension bridge, truss bridge, and more. Each project has color photos and easy-to-follow instructions. Young crafters will be budding engineers in no time!Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Applied to STEM Concepts of Learning Principles."--Publisher's website.

"Learn all about some of the world's most incredible bridges, from how they are designed and built to how bridge technology has changed over time."--

Discusses various types of bridges that can be found all over the world.

"What takes us over rivers and above highways? BRIDGES! Discover why and how they are built and learn about some of the world's beautiful bridges in this book."--

"In Who Built That? Bridges, illustrator Didier Cornille presents ten of the most important bridges in the world, from the world's first cast-iron bridge (The Iron Bridge) to the longest pre-stressed concrete bridge in the southern hemisphere (The Rio-Niteroi Bridge) to the tallest bridge in the world (the Millau Viduct). Introducing each engineer or architect, the main concepts of their work, as well as some of their most important projects in charming...
