Built: The Hidden Stories Behind our Structures

Overall, a basic understanding of math, geometry, and physics would be helpful. It's billed as a layman's book but I found my eyes glaze at all the technical aspects of buildings. Not what I expected.

Wonderful book. I learned a lot about structures and materials. Well written and clear in it's description of civil engineering projects and their importance.
Highly reccomended.

The engineering stuff was good, but the constant “I”, “I”, “I” was way too much.
