{"product_id":"ferris-wheels-norman-anderson-9780879725327","title":"Ferris Wheels: An Illustrated History","description":"Norman Anderson has written a gripping story of one of the engineering marvels of both the nineteenth and the twentieth century, the ferris wheel. The idea of this contraption may be as old as the water wheel, and written descriptions and drawings of pleasure wheels go back at least four centuries. There have been dozens of experiments with design and construction-early portable wheels by Strobel, the Condermans, Sullivan and others; one-of-a-kind wheels like Schnitzler's Asbury Park wheel with a tower and Stubb's water-turned wheel at Electric Park in Waterloo, Iowa; giant wheels in London, Blackpool, Vienna, Paris and recently in Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Norman Anderson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 087972532X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780879725327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 10.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Norman Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947442831615,"sku":"9780879725327","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_443211c4-b510-4122-9d11-eba4909f2126.jpg?v=1681518755","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ferris-wheels-norman-anderson-9780879725327","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
