Have you ever wondered what made human beings want to reach for the skies by building higher and higher? And how they did it? Learn all about the the history of construction in It'll Never Work: Buildings, Bridges and Tunnels, a book that explores the medieval castles, underwater hotels, tunnels under the sea and the successes and failures that have led to the building feats that we know today.
Each title in this exciting, high-interest series looks at a different
area of technology and engineering and reveals the pioneering ideas and
scientific thinking that enabled its development, as well as exposing
those that
proved to be a dead end. Each spread examines a particular
example in depth, bringing in other similar ideas where relevant, and
revealing that experimentation and failure often pave the way to
technology success. Beautifully designed and illustrated with
infographic-style artwork, this series is an excellent technology
resource for readers aged 9 and up.
