| 520 | |a A tale of two rivers: How America harnessed two of its mightiest rivers and put them to work for its citizens. The projects--the Mississippi's system of levees and floodways, and the Colorado's Hoover Dam--constitute vastly different engineering efforts. Their tale is epic, at first one of folly and failure, then of unprecedented personal drama and human achievement. | ||
| 520 | |a Electric nation: How electricity became a part of every American's life. After 1880, Thomas Edison launched the electric-lighting era, and power plants spread to cities. Few private utilities wired rural areas, citing its cost. But if private firms refused to do it, the government would. Arthur Morgan and David Lilienthal, leading the Tennessee Valley Authority, helped finish the job of wiring America. | ||
| 520 | |a Bridging New York: The story of Othmar Ammann, the greatest bridge-builder of the twentieth century, and the histories of the eleven major bridges that unite the islands that make up New York City and connect the great metropolis to the rest of the nation. | ||
| 520 | |a The Big Dig: The building of the most expensive highway project in American history-- billions were spent to mitigate the concerns of Boston's residents, business leaders, and environmentalists. | ||
