The first history of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) to be fully illustrated in colour looks at the development of the profession over nearly 200 years, charting the successes of construction from the great engineering advances of Victorian times to the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, and including biographies of some of the great engineers who made these changes possible. Authors, Hugh Ferguson and Mike Chrimes, who between them have unparalleled knowledge of the Institution, bring their unique insight and passion to the subject.
