Hardback. Condizione: New. When the Forth Bridge opened on 4 March 1890, it was the longest railway bridge in the world and the first large structure made of steel. Crossing the wide Firth of Forth west of Edinburgh in Scotland, it represents one of the greatest engineering triumphs of Victorian Britain, man's victory over the i…ntractable topography of land and water. Not surprisingly, such a vigorous rebuff of the natural order was condemned at the time by those late Victorians who resisted the march of technology, and William Morris described the Bridge as the "supremest specimen of all ugliness". In response, Benjamin Baker insisted that its beauty lay in its functional elegance. Contrasting the bridge with the only comparable structure of the period, the Eiffel Tower, he concluded: "The Eiffel Tower is a foolish piece of work, ugly, ill-proportioned and of no real use to anyone." But the beauty and fascination of the Forth Bridge lies not simply in its functional performance, but in its scale and power. Over a mile long and higher than the dome of St. Peter's in Rome, it rivals the natural phenomena that the philosophers of the 18th century identified as sources of sublime beauty. Immanuel Kant pointed to hurricanes, boundless oceans and high waterfalls as objects of sublime contemplation, "because they raise the forces of the soul above the heights of the vulgar commonplace, and discover within us a power of resistance of quite another kind, which gives us courage to be able to measure ourselves against the seeming omnipotence of nature". In the 19th century the awe-inspiring feats of nature were rivalled by the inventions of the engineers, and the thrill of the waterfall or the lightning flash was eclipsed by the sight of the roaring locomotive dashing across the majestic span of the Forth Bridge.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Als die Forth Bridge am 4. März 1890 eingeweiht wurde, war sie die längste Eisenbahnbrücke der Welt und die erste große Konstruktion aus Stahl. Die Überspannung des Firth of Forth stellte eine der bedeutendsten Triumphe der viktorianischen Zeit dar, die Bewältigung einer ungemein schwierigen topo…graphischen Situation durch den Menschen. Es überrascht nicht, wenn eine derartig siegreiche Überwindung der natürlichen Ordnung von jenen Zeit-genossen, die sich dem Vormarsch der Technik widersetzten, verdammt wurde und William Morris sie als ein 'nicht zu übertreffendes Beispiel äußerster Häßlichkeit' bezeichnete. Benjamin Baker, der Entwerfer der Brücke, hob in seiner Erwiderung deren funktionale Eleganz hervor. Er stellte sein Meisterwerk dem einzig vergleichbaren Stahlbau jener Zeit, dem Eiffelturm, gegenüber und bemerkte: 'Der Eiffelturm ist ein albernes Objekt, häßlich, unproportioniert und für niemanden von irgendeinem Wert.'Die Schönheit und Faszination der Forth Bridge liegen jedoch nicht nur in ihrer Funktio-nalität, sondern auch in ihrer Größe und Kraft. Über eine Meile lang und höher als der Petersdom, wetteifert sie mit den Naturphänomenen, die die Philosophen des 18. Jahrhunderts als Quellen erhabener Schönheit ansahen. Immanuel Kant pries Hurrikane, grenzenlose Ozeane und hohe Wasserfälle als geeignete Objekte, das Erhabene zu erfahren, 'weil sie die Seelenstärke über ihr gewöhnliches Mittelmaß erhöhen und ein Vermögen zu widerstehen von ganz anderer Art in uns entdecken lassen, welches uns Mut macht, uns mit der scheinbaren Allgewalt der Natur messen zu können.' Im 19. Jahrhundert machten plötzlich die Erfindungen der Ingenieure den ehrfuchtgebietenden Erscheinungen der Natur den Rang streitig, und das Gefühl des Schauderns, das sich beim Anblick eines Wasserfalls oder eines Blitzes einstellen mochte, wurde vom Anblick einer Lokomotive in den Schatten gestellt, die donnernd über die majestätisch gespannte Forth Bridge stürmte.Der Architekturhistoriker Iain Boyd Whyte, dessen Forschungsschwerpunkt die Architektur des späten 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunderts ist, und der Ingenieur Angus Macdonald, der sich in seiner Arbeit vor allem der Beziehung zwischen Tragwerk und Architektur widmet, lehren an der Architekturabteilung der University of Edinburgh. Colin Baxter, berühmt für seine einfühlsamen Landschaftsaufnahmen, ist einer der meistgeachteten Photographen Schottlands.
