About This Book
"This book, the only comprehensive illustrated study of American industrial architecture and civil engineering from the mid-eighteenth century to World War II, is a valuable document of this important aspect of our heritage and a testament to American technology and ingenuity.".
"The photographs included in this book, both historic and contemporary, are mostly drawn from the Haer's impressive collection. Written by experts in the field of industrial archaeology, the text weaves together several significant themes of American history: not just the technological advances and the milestones of civil engineering but also the socioeconomic impact of these developments, as well as their architectural manifestation."--BOOK JACKET.
