A comprehensive look at Brunel's most famous and his lesser-known achievements. This remarkable book takes each of his triumphs and explores them in historical context, as well as from engineering and architectural point of view. An excellent 'gazetteer' gives the reader a chance to go out and folow Brunel's engineering trail. Over 80 diagrams and 60 photographs bring the subject to life.

Derrick Beckett is an experienced university lecturer of Civil Engineering, and is the author of Great Buildings of the World: Bridges and several technical books. He lives in Weybridge, Kent.
