Bridges can be high or low, long or short, straight or curvy. Some are designed to blend in, while others stand out. But each one tells a story: a reminder of our history, a testament to ingenuity and engineering, an invitation to imagine the possibilities of the future. Literally and symbolically, bridges connect us-to new places, new cultures, and new people. With poetic text and sweeping illustrations, Marc Majewski delivers a unique, accessible look at bridges from all around the world: from the incredible structures that connect San Francisco’s Golden Gate and Zambia’s Victoria Falls, to England’s Tower Bridge and Japan’s Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge, and many in between. Both informational and thought-provoking, Bridges shows how these awe-inspiring structures unite the manmade and natural worlds, and how they bring humanity together.

Join a group of guides traveling the world (and through time) to use every type of bridge–beam, arch, truss, and suspension–and learn about the oldest, longest, tallest, and weirdest superstructures still standing. Presented in comic book format.
