Sinopse

Longest Tunnels explores the fascinating world of underground infrastructure, examining the engineering marvels that enable us to traverse mountains and seas. It delves into the technology, planning, and execution behind the world's most impressive tunnels, highlighting their vital role in connecting communities and driving global commerce. Did you know that modern tunnel boring machines (TBMs) have revolutionized tunnel construction, allowing for longer and more complex projects than ever before? The book emphasizes how these tunnels represent humanity's ability to overcome geographical barriers, facilitate trade, and reshape landscapes.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the principles of tunnel engineering, including geological surveying and risk management. It then moves through case studies of iconic tunnels like the Gotthard Base Tunnel, the Seikan Tunnel, and the Channel Tunnel, examining the unique challenges, innovative solutions, and lasting impact of each.

 
The study of tunnels connects to several fields, including geology, economics, and environmental science, providing insights into broader challenges of infrastructure development and sustainable engineering.

 
The book concludes with an analysis of future trends, new materials, and environmental considerations necessary for responsible development.

    Dickens takes his family to Italy for a year and writes down what he sees: Genoa, the Carnival at Rome, a public execution he watched from a window, and the roads between. He wrote it as letters home first and kept the tone - no ruins-and-reverence, and a great deal about how people actually lived. This edition adds a gallery of 37 plates, among them paintings by Canaletto, Francesco Giuseppe Casanova and Giuseppe Zais, with views of the Grand Canal and the English road.

    How the map was filled in — Phoenicians, Ptolemy, the Norsemen, Marco Polo, Prince Henry, Columbus, Cook, Livingstone — set out as a single argument about what each age believed the earth to be. Joseph Jacobs, who edited English fairy tales, wrote it for a general series in 1899. He is good on the errors: what people expected to find shaped where they went. Fifty-nine plates, among them Turner and Church, trace the same voyaging instinct the text describes, from storm-tossed boats to the Taj Mahal.
