This book explores bridges as its central theme, introducing the history and significance of human bridge construction since ancient times. Bridges not only shorten journeys but also offer beautiful views, spanning deep valleys, turbulent rivers, vast oceans, or busy roads. The book covers various types of bridges: famous bridges, movable bridges, vehicle bridges, animal bridges, aqueducts, and even bridges to the underworld, along with maze games and comic stories. It includes the world's most notable bridges, peculiar rolling or lifting boat bridges, the longest bridge at 164 kilometers, and how the Lotus Bridge in Macau cleverly handles the transition between left-hand and right-hand traffic. The book also mentions bridges in myths, movies, paintings, and logos.
