In this five disc set, the creator of the enormously popular The Way Things Work goes on location to explain the history, design, and engineering of bridges, domes, skyscrapers, dams, and tunnels. A combination of film footage, recreations, and Macaulay's own illustrations illuminate the ways that many architectural wonders were designed and built. Macaulay's narration is clear and comprehensive. Adults will find themselves learning as well.
