Underground ANNOTATION
Text and drawings describe the subways, sewers, building foundations, telephone and power systems, columns, cables, pipes, tunnels, and other underground elements of a large modern city.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
With typical zest and a wry sense of humor, David Macaulay has revealed the maze of intricate support systems that exist beneath the surface of a busy city street. His two- and three-dimensional cutaway views create a visual tour de force, capturing the staggering technical feats of our modern urban underground.
FROM THE CRITICS
"A straightforward yet fascinating description of the labyrinth beneath the feet of any city dweller. And what a complex covered world David Macaulay reveals! He invents an intersection of two streets and proceeds to show what we all might find if we dared to descend through that Alice-in-Wonderland manhole."
