From Booklist

Crisp color photos combined with realistic cross-section art spotlight the heavy construction equipment that excavates, builds, tunnels, and paves. Color-highlighted sidebars deliver background on the roles of the pictured machinery, and pointed descriptions explain the functions of each machine's individual parts. Dramatic photos of the world's longest rail tunnel under construction in Japan, and a diagram of the complex and massive machinery that accomplishes such work are some of the many highlights of this feast for truck and engine devotees. Archival drawings of such equipment as a bucket trencher provide interesting historical perspectives on how heavy work was done before modern technological advances. Miscellaneous facts and a brief glossary conclude this attractive and informative book. Ellen Mandel
