About this title

Synopsis

Have you ever wondered how bridges don’t fall down or how really old buildings stay standing up?

In the How Do series, readers are welcome to guess along with the rest of us―and then explore the science behind the right answers. Basic principles of architecture and engineering are explored through diagrams, photos, and informative and engaging text.

In How Do Bridges Not Fall Down?, readers will learn:

� Different types of bridges and their characteristics

� How column and beam structures are supported

� Building techniques used in ancient buildings and why they are still standing today

� How skyscrapers are built and how they are reinforced

� How structures are built based on their geographic location

About the Authors

Jennifer Shand lives in central Virginia with her husband. After graduating from James Madison University and working with children for many years, she began to write for them. She is now the author of several books for children, from the very young up to teenagers. Jennifer loves to write, travel, bake, and spend time with her husband and family. She also enjoys photography, being outside, hiking, and reading.

Srimalie Bassani lives and works in Mantova, Italy. Her mother has always encouraged her artistic expression, and she is the inspiration for her passion. Her work is full of surprises. She always tries to diversify her style based on every story she illustrates. It's almost impossible to remove her from her writing desk, where she keeps a stack of books and teacups of many colors.
