Description - The Bridge Between Worlds: A Brief History of Connection by Gavin Francis

In a world preoccupied by borders, bridges celebrate the possibility of connection

Dr Gavin Francis crosses bridges both actual and metaphorical on a journey through six continents, twenty countries and four decades of travel, exploring answers to questions of peace and conflict, connection and community.

From Rome's Ponte Sant'Angelo to Brooklyn, Victoria Falls to London, Singapore to Siberia, Francis's tour of bridges around the world demonstrates what the building of bridges has meant to our civilisation, how crossings can enrich our lives, and the price we pay when we tear them down.
