Books in Engineering Eurekas series

Bridges are some of the most beautiful and useful products of math we encounter in our daily lives. This detailed text will teach readers exciting and age-appropriate facts about the engineering behind these structural wonders. Readers will see record-breaking masterpieces from across the globe, such as living bridges built into trees in India. Spectacular photographs, an easy-to-read map, and fun fact boxes will engage all readers. A concluding engineering activity is perfect for kinesthetic learners who love to work with their hands!

Humans have been scraping the sky much longer than most people think since the ancient Egyptian pyramids, in fact! In this exciting volume, readers will explore a comprehensive history of humanitys most vertically ambitious architecture and learn the fascinating geometry that makes such engineering possible. Theyll also investigate technologies these man-made heights require, such as escalators, elevators, weather-resistant materials, and more. Dizzying photographs will amaze even reluctant readers, and a fun map invites interaction. Complete with a hands-on engineering activity, this jaw-dropping volume is an essential addition to any library.

Hoist the drawbridge and ready the cannons! Even reluctant readers will storm the bookshelves for this high-interest topic where history, math, and magic intersect. This innovative text goes far beyond the familiar medieval European architecture and enhances readers global awareness through Celtic fortified settlements, Roman warrior towns, massive Japanese structures, and other architectural marvels. Fantastic photographs and a helpful map will visually enrich the readers journey, and they will be thrilled to build their own paper castles in a concluding engineering activity section.

In this informative book, readers dig into the history of tunnels and expand their cultural awareness as they explore famous tunnels across the globe. Theyll also discover other technologies that play a role in tunnels, such as the invention of dynamite and ancient aqueducts! Record-breaking tunnels will amaze even reluctant readers, and stunning photographs illuminate key concepts. The concluding engineering activity will give readers the chance to apply their knowledge through hands-on construction. This versatile work explains the historical importance and science of tunnels, helping readers understand connections between subject areas.

All aboard the Engineering Express! Readers will embark on a scientific exploration of steam power and locomotive engineering in this versatile volume. Along the way theyll gain insight on American history, the epic Transcontinental Railroad, and other pivotal moments in the locomotives long lifetime. Full-color photographs and a reader-friendly map illustrate the journey for visual learners, while kinesthetic learners will love the concluding hands-on engineering activity. This multi-subject text serves as a Grand Central Station of academia, making it the perfect addition to any curricula.
