GIES, JOSEPH Wonders of the Modern World.
New York Thomas Y. Crowell Co. 1966 Hard Cover
241 pages, 4 plates, sketch maps, cloth, dust jacket frayed otherwise very good. Second printing. From the dj: Japan's Bullet Train, the Dutch Delta Project, and the Aswan Dam are three of the thirteen adventures in engineering that Joseph Gies has singled out as true 'Wonders of the Modern World.' He tells how men struggled against inrushes of scalding water and seething rock to drive the Simplon Tunnel, longest in the world, through the Alpine massif at Mount Leone; how architects were hard put to keep pace with workmen on the Empire State - a building which jumped fourteen stories in one ten-day period - the fastest skyscraper job of all time as well as the biggest; how without any experience or precedent to guide them engineers dug and built a fantastic underground complex in Colorado capable of withstanding a nuclear blast.
