Book Synopsis Stone Bridges by : Carla Neggers
Download or read book Stone Bridges written by Carla Neggers. This book was released on 2019-03-26. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times–bestselling author of The River House returns to the scenic New England town where families and friends face challenges together. Adrienne Portale has never settled in one place for long, but takes a job as innkeeper in tiny Knights Bridge, Massachusetts, to spend some time getting to know the father she only recently found. When three small boys get lost in the wilderness that borders the inn, Adam Sloan leads the search. His family ties to the town go back generations. Adrienne sees the bond that people in a small town have as they band together to find the missing children. Adam is impressed with her calm strength, but he’s sure she won’t find what she’s looking for in his quiet hometown. Despite their differences, Adam and Adrienne discover they have more in common than they’d expected. They love to explore old stone walls and bridges, and she adores his dog. As summer bleeds into the gorgeous New England fall, the attraction between them grows, and they must decide where—and who—makes a place home. “If you’re a fan of small towns with an interesting history inhabited by caring . . . salt of the earth folks with deep roots, incredible scenery, a low-key romance and an unforgettable story look no further.” —The Reading Frenzy

Book Synopsis An Encyclopaedia of World Bridges by : David McFetrich
Download or read book An Encyclopaedia of World Bridges written by David McFetrich. This book was released on 2022-06-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridges are one of the most important artefacts constructed by man, the structures having had an incalculable effect on the development of trade and civilisation throughout the world. Their construction has led to continuing advances in civil engineering technology, leading to bigger spans and the use of new materials. Their failures, too, whether from an inadequate understanding of engineering principles or as a result of natural catastrophes or warfare, have often caused immense hardship as a result of lost lives or broken communications. In this book, a sister publication to his earlier An Encyclopaedia of British Bridges (Pen & Sword 2019), David McFetrich gives brief descriptions of some 1200 bridges from more than 170 countries around the world. They represent a wide range of different types of structure (such as beam, cantilever, stayed and suspension bridges). Although some of the pictures are of extremely well-known structures, many are not so widely recognisable and a separate section of the book includes more than seventy lists of bridges with distinctly unusual characteristics in their design, usage and history.
