Writing in an accessible style that incorporates historical accounts with a lively and entertaining approach, Angus Kress Gillespie explores these two monumental works of civil engineering and the public who embraced them. He describes and analyzes the building of the tunnels, introduces readers to the people who worked there--then and now--and places the structures into a meaningful cultural context with the music, art, literature, and motion pictures that these tunnels, engineering marvels of their day, have inspired over the years. Today, when new concerns about global terrorism may trump bouts of simple tunnel tension, Gillespie's Crossing Under the Hudson continues to cast a light at the end of the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels. 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / General$2bisacsh 607 $aHolland Tunnel (Jersey City, N.J., and New York, N.Y.) 607 $aLincoln Tunnel (New York, N.Y., and Weehawken, N.J.) 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / General. 676 $a624.1/94097471 686 $aZI 6505$2rvk 700 $aGillespie$b Angus K.$f1942-$01596767 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910829023803321 996 $aCrossing under the Hudson$93918273 997 $aUNINA
