Humans do one thing better than other species: we
build things. For millennia, people have altered
the landscape to create awe-inspiring architectural
and engineering wonders that rival the most impressive
structures created by nature. Cities built temples to
worship their gods; kings sponsored structures to
glorify their reigns; nations constructed sophisticated
systems of canals and roadways to expand their economic
influence; architects designed novel buildings to house
an ever-growing population.

In only one book can you find them all. The Encyclopedia
of Architectural and Engineering Feats presents over 200
achievements in architecture and structural engineering
in all the inhabited continents from prehistory to the
present. A structure is included because of the
importance of its technological advance, its refinement
of existing systems, or its social and economic
significance.
