Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Bridge Between Worlds, Gavin Francis explores bridges old and new, man-made or natural, musing on the view from the bridge through history, geopolitics, psychology and literature. Against the ever-growing obsession with national borders in politics and the media, bridges – whether seen as functional, emblematic or aesthetical – both unite and divide us. From Ponte Sant’Angelo to Brooklyn Bridge, from Victoria Falls Bridge to Tavanasa Bridge, The Bridge Between Worlds reflects on the bridges between nations and individuals, how they act as frontiers and reflects on the lives of people either side of the border.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MOTHER NATURE ASKS YOU TO TIE THE ROPE THAT HUMANITY IS HANGING ITSELF ON? A man with skills from an older time is needed now, in a broken digital world. His life is filled with nostalgia. His possessions are old. He is the curator of ‘old’ things that he collects and when they break, he fixes them. He is not connected to the world wide web. The only phone he uses is a 1966 red payphone. To operate, insert a ten-cent coin or shilling. He is an analogue man in a digital world. The winds of change are in the air. Something odd has happened to his universe.

Download or read book Bridging Saint John Harbour written by Harold E. Wright and Joseph Goguen and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1850s, lumber mill owner W. Kilby Reynolds, with engineer Edward R. Serrell, succeeded in building the first suspension bridge to connect divided Saint John. This operated as a toll crossing until 1858, when it became a government-owned structure. From then until the present, there have been two vehicular-pedestrian bridges and two rail bridges serving travelers crossing Saint John Harbour at the gorge at the Reversing Falls. By the third quarter of the 19th century, there was talk and plans for a second bridge, one which would cross at Navy Island to the North End. It took about 80 years before this plan came to fruition, and the Saint John Harbour Bridge opened in 1968. Through this rich collection of photographs, Bridging Saint John Harbour clearly shows the importance of the varied connector bridges over Saint John Harbour and how they came to be built.
