Here is a super-colossal book for grown-ups who like big things, Descriptions, facts, specs, and stories are presented on massive dump trucks, huge bulldozers, immense tree shredders, and all other types of super-large machines. 250 color & b&w photos.
We bought this book for the kids when my husband picked it up and saw all the pictures of heavy equipment. Since then, this book has been poured over week-in and week-out by my two sons. (I kept putting it away when I cleaned house and they kept dragging it out again.) When I finally got a chance to go through it, I realized that it not only had pictures of huge modern equipment but also historical photographs of heavy equipment used in major construction projects such as airport runways, museums, dams, mines, and canals. Along with the beautiful large-format photographs, there are lengthy text descriptions and the book is well-organized by topics such as construction, cranes, mining, farming and forestry and specialized equipment. This is a book that won't just sit on the bookshelf!
