Aaseng gives eight innovative builders their due and provides historical context for their awesome creations. The wealth of information is well organized and balances personal backgrounds with the obstacles, breakthroughs, and impact of each project—then and now—on people, places, and engineering technology. The prose is clear and engaging. Sidebars feature related anecdotes, fun facts, and word definitions. Historical photos, drawings, and diagrams are fascinating and well-chosen.”
