Overview

Great Building Feats reveals how and why the world's greatest structures were created and how engineering, geographical, technical, and human challenges were overcome during construction. Each building required the best minds of its time. They remain innovative and fascinating in both their creation and appearance. Supports the national curriculum standards Culture; Time, Continuity, and Change; People, Places, and Environments; Individuals, Groups, and Institutions; Power, Authority, and Governance; Science, Technology, and Society; and Global Connections as outlined by the National Council for the Social Sciences. Just twenty-one miles wide, the English Channel separates the people of England and France. After many years and countless abandoned plans, France and England held a contest: companies would compete to win the privilege-- and enormous engineering challenge--of constructing the world's longest undersea link. Seven years and more than 16 billion dollars later, this engineering marvel opened and now transports more than 10 million people annually on the quick half-hour journey under the sea.
