"The Bridge at Quebec provides a full account of the long effort to build a bridge across the St. Lawrence at this difficult site, with particular emphasis on the extraordinary story of the failure of the first bridge, its engineers and their fateful decisions, the terrible collapse of August 29, 1907, and the human tragedies that accompanied it, and the lessons that its story holds even today for engineers and builders as they continue to extend the boundaries of technology. Fully illustrated, the book makes clear to the general reader and technical audience alike the engineering and technical issues involved in this story of one of the world's greatest bridges."--BOOK JACKET.

When engineering students in Canada are soon to graduate, the solemn “Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer,” penned by none other than Rudyard Kipling, charges them with their Obligation to high standards, humility, and ethics. Each budding engineer then receives an Iron Ring to be worn on the small finger of the working hand as a reminder throughout their career. Through the story of the 1907 Quebec Bridge disaster, in which seventy-six men died, author Dan Levert teaches a powerful object lesson in what can happen when that Obligation is forgotten. Woven from transcripts of the inquiry into the collapse, the report of the commissioners, and other sources including the coroner’s inquest, On Cold Iron plays out like a fast-paced thriller. Levert recounts the original 1850s proposals to bridge the St. Lawrence near Quebec City, through the design and construction of what was to be the longest clear span bridge of any kind in the world, to its shocking collapse during construction in August 1907. The missteps, poor policies, hubris, and wrong-headed actions begin to build like a death by a thousand cuts, until its inevitable and horrifying culmination. The meticulously researched and deftly delivered story of this terrible historical event makes fascinating reading for anyone, but even more, it is a powerful cautionary tale and a clarion call for the obligation and responsibility of an engineer.

In June 1915, on her 11th birthday, Gabrielle is looking forward to a day of adventures! Little did she know that her adventure would last more than two years! Her father works at the construction site for a bridge over the St. Lawerence River at Quebec. The first attempt to build it resulted in a major engineering failure and more than 70 workers lost their lives. Gabrielle meets the Chief Engineer of the bridge company who, seeing her interest in the project, invites her to learn about bridge building. Her journey begins. The book presents accurate engineering and historical facts and from an 11 year old's perspective. Visual material (historical photos, drawings and graphics) supplements the text and add to the educational value of the book. A teacher's curriculum package is available for this book through www.ykm.ca Reviews: From: - Adrienne Clarkson, Governor General of Canada "Thank you for sharing with me your first book, The Young Civil Engineer - The Quebec Bridge. I am always pleased to see Canadian history and culture being documented. Hopefully this book will inspire a generation of young Canadians to think about what they can contribute to the field of engineering in the future. I wish you the best in all your endeavours." From: - Dr. Alistair MacKenzie, P.Eng., Past-Chair of Historical Committee of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering, Professor at Ryerson University "Aimed at children of around the age of the book's heroine (11/12 years) this book provides a much needed source of information on the nature of the civil engineering profession at just the age at which school children start to become aware of the possibilities that await them in the future. By following the story of the construction of one of Canada's truly exceptional and historic civil engineering projects, the book vividly illustrates the challenges inherent in works of this magnitude and demonstrates the will to succeed against heavy odds that characterized the efforts of engineers of that era." From: - Sherif Barakat, Ph.D., P.Eng., Vice President, National Research Council Canada "Now that I had the chance to read your book, I can tell you that I found it great both educationally and culturally. I learned a lot about bridges (not being a structural engineer) and I learned also a lot about the life in Quebec during this era, not to mention about the history of an important engineering achievement. Well done to the authors and thanks for giving me a copy." From: - Ruth Dempsey, Ph.D., Educator & Counsellor in Private Practice, Former Professor in Education at the University of Ottawa, Lecturer in Human Development and Aging "Science and Technology teachers will find this book an ideal introduction to the theme: "Forces, Mechanisms and Materials" for students ages 9 and up. Following Gabrielle, as she jot notes and make drawings in her burgundy engineering notebook, the students will learn easily the language of forces, trusses, caissons and cables, and why the engineers include in their calculations the impact of earthquakes and the build-up of ice on the St. Lawrence River. For young Canadians, learning about their country and its place in the world, The Young Civil Engineer - The Quebec Bridge is a must read."
