Edward Cresy, the renowned architectural historian and civil engineer, has drawn on his incredible vision and breadth of knowledge to bring together a remarkable history of civil engineering. First published in 1847 this facsimile edition of the first part of his encyclopaedia includes a vast number of illustrations, a history of civil engineering by period and a glimpse into the theory and practices of the day. Cresy's Encyclopaedia of Civil Engineering even includes the earliest measured drawing of the leaning tower of Pisa.
