A New Statesman Book of the Year for 2017 His father conceived of the Brooklyn Bridge, but it was Washington Roebling who built this iconic feat of human engineering after his father`s tragic death. It has stood for more than 130 years & is now as much a part of New York as the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building. Yet, as recognisable as the bridge is, its builder is too often forgotten. The Chief Engineer is a brilliant examination of the life of one of America`s most distinguished engineers. Roebling`s experience as an engineer building bridges in the Union Army during the civil War has never before been documented, & played a central role in the bridge that links Brooklyn & Manhattan. The Brooklyn Bridge took fourteen dramatic years to complete, & the personal story that lay behind that construction is told here for the first time. The Chief Engineer is an engaging portrait of a brilliant & driven man, & of the era in which he lived. Meticulously researched, & written with revealing archival material only recently uncovered, including Washington Roebling`s own memoir that was previously thought to be lost to history, in The Chief Engineer Erica Wagner relates the fascinating history of the bridge & its maker. ...

Consistent difficulty rating & useful additional information prevent the user from critical situations on the trails. The best singletrails in the best mountain bike spots throughout Europe
- this is the convincing formula of the brand new Supertrail Maps. For the first time ever, these unique topographic maps make the knowledge of locals available to others. All the trails on a map have been biked & rated in five difficulty levels for up- & downhill separately by specially trained authors. This consistent rating facilitates tour planning & spares a user from getting into sketchy situations on the trails. In addition to the difficulty rating, extraordinary nice trails are marked with a «highlight»-pictogram. The maps in a scale of 1:50 000 show all information required for tour planning & orienting oneself on the trails, such as: difficulty, highlight-trails, mountain railways with mountain bike transport, mountain bike shuttles, dangerous falls, restaurants, bike shops, emergency numbers & touristic infopoints. Thanks to the especially chosen map section, one map covers the whole area. The Supertrail Maps are printed on tear- & waterproof foil which makes them very sturdy. On the back of any map, additional information about the area & the use of a Supertrail Map are presented in two languages. Folded

Dimensions of 10x 15cm allow the map to fit into any pocket without squeezing.
