In the Wake of Tacoma

Mr. Scott has portrayed the events surrounding the Wake of Tacoma with true intensity and enthusiasm enabling a person like myself, who does not understand the underlying engineering principles surrounding bridge building, to still appreciate the magnitude and essential drama that goes into such feats of construction. I would recommend this book highly to everyone who has driven accross a bridge and I would like to assume that this book would be found in a well read condition on the shelves of all architechure and engineering firms.
