About this title

Synopsis

The world's most ambitious design and engineering projects of the past century gained almost instant international notoriety. Each required bold innovation, a unique vision, and many dedicated and courageous teams to make the plans a reality. These landmarks stand today, not only as symbols of their time and place, but also as a testament to the limitless ingenuity of the human spirit.

From School Library Journal

Gr 6-9-In this discussion of Paris's landmark, Greene reviews the life of its creator-Gustave Eiffel-and the history behind its construction. The text is thorough and adequately written. Unfortunately, the presentation is visually disappointing. Despite the claims in the series foreword, there are no "useful maps" or "numerous diagrams" (and both would be extremely helpful). The black-and-white photos are unappealing, and measurements fluctuate between meters and feet. The quotes footnoted are frequently mangled from their original sources, and Greene misspells the name of the author of one of her major references (it's Henri Loyrette, not Loyette).
