This book is long, but a decent look at what it took the Eiffel Tower to become a heart at the center of the Paris people. ( ) What an informative, delightful book complete with colorful, ingenious illustrations by Lia Visirin! The storyline takes us through planning, construction, and politics of the project. Even when the public clearly wanted the tower to remain, politicians were obstructive. So M. Eiffel began thinking outside the box and came up with several beneficial projects to incorporate into the tower. As you know, the politicians lost and we all continue to win due to the ingenuity of M. Eiffel! A wonderful book to give and to share. I requested and received a free temporary e-book copy from Capstone/Capstone Editions via NetGalley. Thank you! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"The city of Paris wanted to tear down the Eiffel Tower! Gustave Eiffel, an engineer and amateur scientist, had built the incredible structure for the 1889 World's Fair. Created using cutting-edge technology, it stood taller than any other building in the world! More than a million delighted people flocked to visit it during the fair. But the officials wondered, beyond being a spectacle, what is it good for? It must come down! But Eiffel loved his tower. He crafted a clever plan to make the tower too useful to tear down by turning it into 'laboratory such as science has never had at its disposal.' As the date for the tower's demolition approached, Eiffel raced to prove its worth. Could science save the Eiffel Tower?"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
