Sinossi

Famous Bridges explores the evolution of bridge design and its profound impact on history, revealing how these structures are more than just infrastructure; they are symbols of human innovation. From ancient Roman aqueducts, showcasing early engineering prowess, to the transformative bridges of the Industrial Revolution, like the iconic Iron Bridge, the book demonstrates how bridges have connected cultures, boosted economies, and facilitated urban development. These constructions highlight our capacity to conquer physical barriers and unite diverse communities.

 
The book progresses chronologically, beginning with the fundamental principles of bridge engineering, such as beam, arch, and suspension designs. It then examines ancient bridges, followed by the revolutionary designs of the Industrial Revolution, and concludes with modern marvels. The book emphasizes sustainable design principles for future bridge construction.

 
Through architectural plans, historical accounts, and engineering analyses, Famous Bridges provides a unique perspective by blending technical knowledge with compelling historical narratives, making complex concepts understandable for a broad audience interested in architecture, history, and engineering.

Abundantly More - The...

Jeremy S. Begbie

Late-modern culture has been marred by reductionism, which shrinks and flattens our vision of ourselves and the world. Renowned theologian Jeremy Begbie believes that the arts by their nature push against reductionism, helping us understand and experience more deeply the infinite richness of God's love and of the world God has made. 
 
In this paperback edition of Abundantly More, Begbie analyzes and critiques reductionism and its effects. He shows how the arts can resist reductive impulses by opening us up to an unlimited abundance of meaning. And he demonstrates how the engagement of the arts in light of a trinitarian imagination (which itself cuts against reductionism) generates a unique way of witnessing to and sharing in the life and purposes of God. 
 
Theologians, artists, and any who are interested in how the fields of art and theology intersect will find rich resources here and discover the crucial role the arts can play in keeping our culture open to the possibility of God. 
 
The hardcover edition received an Award of Distinction (Arts & Culture) from The Gospel Coalition. 
 
"Timely, helpful, and theologically rigorous."--The Gospel Coalition
