But officials wondered if its purpose went beyond being a spectacle. Gustave Eiffel had other plans.

Could science save the Eiffel Tower? This book tells the story of how one man's determination and ingenuity changed the course of history. With its unique blend of engineering and scientific innovation, this book offers a fascinating look at a pivotal moment in history.
