The Brooklyn Bridge : a cultural history

"Hailed by some as the Eighth Wonder of the World when it opened in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge is one of the world's most recognizable and beloved icons." "Despite its impressive physical presence, however, Brooklyn's grand old bridge is much more than a testament to engineering and architectural achievement. As Richard Haw shows in this first-of-its-kind cultural history, the Brooklyn Bridge owes as much to the public's imagination as it does to the historical events and technical prowess that were integral to its construction."
