Bridges are one of the most important artefacts constructed by man, the structures having had an incalculable effect on the development of trade and civilisation throughout the world. Their construction has led to continuing advances in civil engineering technology, leading to bigger spans and the use of new materials. Their failures, too, whether from an inadequate understanding of engineering principles or as a result of natural catastrophes or warfare, have often caused immense hardship as a result of lost lives or broken communications. In this book, a sister publication to his earlier An Encyclopaedia of British Bridges (Pen & Sword 2019), David McFetrich gives brief descriptions of some 1200 bridges from more than 170 countries around the world. They represent a wide range of different types of structure (such as beam, cantilever, stayed and suspension bridges). Although some of the pictures are of extremely well-known structures, many are not so widely recognisable and a separate section of the book includes more than seventy lists of bridges with distinctly unusual characteristics in their design, usage and history.

"Always," wrote Philip Larkin, "it is by bridges that we live." Bridges represent our aspirations to connect, to soar across divides. And it is the unfinished business of these aspirations that makes bridges such stirring sights, especially when they are marvels of ingenuity. A rich compendium of myths, superstitions, literary and ideological figurations, as well as architectural and musical illustrations, Of Bridges organizes a poetic and philosophical history of bridges into nine thematic clusters. Leaping in lucid prose between seemingly unrelated times and places, Thomas Harrison gives a panoramic account of the diverse meanings and valences of human bridges, questioning why they are built and where they lead. He investigates bridges as flashpoints in war and the mega-bridges of our globalized world. He probes links forged by religion between life's transience and eternity and the consolidating ties of music, illustrated in a case study of the blues. He illuminates the real and symbolic crossings facing migrants each day and the affective connections that make persons and societies cohere. In fine and intricate readings of literature, philosophy, art, and geography, Harrison engages in a profound reflection on how bridges form and transform cultural communities. Interdisciplinary and deeply lyrical, Of Bridges is a mesmerizing, vertiginous tale of bridges both visible and invisible, both lived and imagined.

We begin with a look into the first levels of our existence, the structures, dynamics and connection to the Source Cycles, the oversoul cycles and the soul group cycles. It is important to understand what a soul is and how the evolutions unfold in the first cosmos. Then we investigate what led to the division of the soul races and the two universes that arose after this, i.e. the first disputes between the anti-elevation groups and the pro-elevation groups as well as the technologies and the result in the Internal Strife, which led to the division of the holographic metaverse (the HM), giving grounds for the less-progressive universe (the LPU). We look into the soul races that departed and what they faced as settlers in a new type of universe. We will look into the technologies they took with them and their later inventions leading to more problems for the departed soul races. We look at the participation and evolutions of the LPU and the divisions among the departed soul races. Which role does the technologically enhanced genetics (the TEGs) play and how do they affect the LPU evolutions? What obstacles do the races of the LPU face as a part of this system cut off from holographic universe? How have they solved this? From here we move on into the historical details of the LPU, the collaborations, the timeline event and the rise of the ancient stellar races. Then the regression fields and their races are addressed. It is from these areas the Reptilian Riots arose and we need to look into the background of the regressive races and what led to the takeover of our planet. What were the reasons for the Reptilian Riots? How did it affect the lower levels of the less-progressive universe? And when did the dark ones get into power of our reality field, the technologies in humans etc? This and much more are part of this book.
