About this product

Product Information

In this stunningly illustrated, detailed and deliberately entertaining book, John Laverick gives an insight into the exciting world of civil engineering, via fourteen individual case studies. Originally crafted as a successful series of lectures, their overwhelmingly glowing reception is testament to the global significance of the stories chosen, across three continents and three centuries. A Voyage Through The World Of Civil Engineering considers world ship canals including Panama and Suez, floating concepts such as the concrete Mulberry harbours, the world's only rotating ship lift at Falkirk, a manmade island in the Baltic linking the crossings between two countries, the infrastructure of the rock at Gibraltar, the journey from Brunel's GWR to the ambitious restoration of the Wilts & Berks Canal, and the early steamships of the Cunard and P&O lines. AUTHOR: John Laverick is a Chartered Engineer, a Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers, a Member of the Institution of Structural Engineers and a Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute. He spent his career maintaining facilities for large ships and small vessels, and now volunteers the same, for which work he was made MBE in 2016. He also volunteers as Chairman/Vice President of the Wilts & Berks Canal Trust and as a board member of their Area Environment Group for the management of the Upper River Thames. 197 illustrations
