Description
The Eiffel Tower was meant to be torn down. But Gustave Eiffel had other plans. As an engineer and amateur scientist, he wanted his incredible structure to prove its worth beyond being a spectacle. With cutting-edge technology at the time, the tower stood taller than any other building in the world. Eiffel crafted a clever plan to make the tower too useful to tear down by turning it into "a laboratory such as science has never had at its disposal." As the date for demolition approached, Eiffel worked tirelessly to prove the tower's worth. Could science save the Eiffel Tower? This extraordinary picture book tells the story of Gustave Eiffel and his remarkable achievement. With delightful illustrations and an engaging narrative, this book is perfect for soon-to-be scientists, engineers, and history buffs who will love learning about the little-known facts behind one of the world's most iconic landmarks.
