Review
"David P. Billington is clearly moved by great structures--he means it when he says that major works of structural engineering
are like the art of poetry, while architecture is the art of prose. . . . This is a book on structural engineering that sees its subject as
part of the larger drama of history and culture, and for the breadth of this stance alone, it is impressive."--New York Times Book Review
