• Sommario/riassunto: Intimate and engaging, Michael Rockland's rich narrative presents perspectives on the GWB, as it is often called, that span history, architecture, engineering, transportation, design, the arts, politics, and even post-9/11 mentality. Stunning archival photos, from the late 1920's when the bridge was built through the present, are a powerful complement to the bridge's history.
