I got to know my grandfather Johann Vorndran in 1945 in the Hochtief barracks in Walldorf/Hesse when want and misery reigned everywhere in Germany. He didn’t tell much about his life in Turkey. Only occasionally did he speak Turkish with his wife Minna when he did not want us children to understand them. It was only later that I became interested in his life and that of our family. That so many documents had been preserved was a stroke of fortune. During my research, I benefited from the fact that I myself went to school in Istanbul for four years and later remained connected to Turkey both professionally and privately. The country and language are very familiar to me. Our grandfather and his family had twice left for Turkey to seek their fortune. When he “screwed” the Galata Bridge over the Golden Horn for the first time in 1911, he got to know Ottoman Constantinople. On his second move there in the autumn of 1924, he experienced the up-and-coming metropolis of Istanbul under Atatürk. During the construction of bridges in remote regions of Anatolia, he got to know the old Turkish culture. The world wars twice ended his stays in Turkey, which had become his home. When he returned to Germany, he was a German foreigner in his native country. As the work on the “Bridge Builder” progressed, I realized that the fates of his sons Hans and Willy, who were born in Constantinople, grew up there and spent substantial parts of their professional lives in Turkey, had to be included. And because life in Turkey had such a strong influence on us siblings in the third generation, a family history became inevitable. I have tried to place the life and circumstances of the family as described into a historical context in order to make them understandable for those of us who live today. It was important for me to recall the suffering and misery that National Socialism brought to countless people through its dictatorship and the criminal wars it conducted.

Like never before we are aware of the crucial place of bridges in our lives. The spans that warranted little notice are now at the forefront of public and political debate and we are reminded of the rich history-and the uncertain future-of bridging in Minnesota. Historian Denis P. Gardner documents and celebrates a wide range of the state’s rural and urban spans, telling the remarkable stories of their construction and impact on Minnesota life and culture. From Pratt trusses to bowstring arches, Wood, Concrete, Stone, and Steel describes nearly every bridge type found in Minnesota, including railroad spans, and features more than 225 illustrations of historical and extant bridges. Gardner details the development of engineering and construction innovations (complete with a guide to trusses) and traces the fascinating politics and personalities behind the task of creating and maintaining safe, and often beautiful, crossings. Through arresting photographs and lively narrative, Gardner makes a compelling argument for the value of preserving our bridges and the cultural heritage they carry and brings to life their importance in Minnesota’s past, present, and future. Denis P. Gardner is an award-winning historian who has documented properties for the National Register of Historic Places and the Historic American Engineering Record. He is the author of Minnesota Treasures: Stories behind the State’s Historic Places. Eric DeLony is former director of the Historic American Engineering Record.

The history of Rochester bridge (identifiable remains date from the Roman occupation of the walled town) and the records of the bridge administration span close on 2000 years of economic and social change. The fortunes of the successive crossings, culminating in the Medway Tunnel project of the 1990s, reflect developments in regional and national affairs; the remarkable surviving archive of the bridge administration gives valuable detail on practical issues such as maintenance and financial management, and on the personalities involved. Each of the six studies that make up this book (written by different scholars) focuses on a distinct period in the history of this ancient and important crossing of the Medway, setting it in a wider national context of economic and social - and inevitably political - history, and including comparative material on other river crossings.

Bridges are inseparable part of Indian Railways. They span raging rivers and deep gorges. Among the innumerable railway bridges, many of them are iconic in one or the other aspect. The book contains historical and technical information about 34 iconic bridges of Indian Railways. These selected bridges are located all over India. The book is of equal interest to the engineers, designers, railwaymen and tourists as they will find in it various details from the anecdotes connected with these bridges to the information about their substructure and superstructure. The photographs taken by the author make the reading much more interesting. This is perhaps for the first time that such information is being made available which is expected to encourage the curiosity of the reader about the heritage and greatness of Indian Railways.
