Summary:
C'est avec des images que nous avons appris à découvrir le paysage : avec la peinture et plus tard avec la photographie et le cinéma. En sorte qu'aujourd'hui nous vivons la tête pleine d'images de la Terre tout entière : nous habitons le monde à la fois en portant les yeux sur ce qui est proche de nous, à notre échelle ordinaire, mais aussi - grâce à la technique - sur une immensité, comme la Terre vue du ciel, qui provoque en nous de nouvelles émotions. Claude Eveno est urbaniste et écrivain. Il a publié des livres sur la ville et l'architecture, et il est professeur à l'Ecole nationale supérieure de la nature et du paysage.

Summary:
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.

With poetic text and sweeping illustrations, Marc Majewski delivers a unique, accessible look at bridges all around the world: from San Francisco’s incredible Golden Gate to the Victoria Falls Bridge connecting Zambia and Zimbabwe 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.
