{"product_id":"tay-bridge-disaster-robin-lumley-9780752499468","title":"Tay Bridge Disaster: The People's Story","description":"One hundred and thirty-five years after the event, the Tay Bridge Disaster remains the single most catastrophic collapse of a British engineering structure. The fateful day in 1879 shook Britain and the world of engineering to their core and sent a nation into mourning for the seventy-five souls lost to the dark, freezing waters of the Tay River. Here Lumley gives the collapse a much wider perspective than the event of one night by delving into the lives of those lost to the disaster, both passengers and railway workers, against a background of a wider Scottish history. Packed full of personal tales and with more technical appendices for those that wish to further their knowledge, \u003ci\u003eTay Bridge Disaster\u003c\/i\u003e is a must read for anyone interested in this poignant event of Scottish and British history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robin Lumley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0752499467\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780752499468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Robin Lumley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075402821887,"sku":"9780752499468","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_da9303b7-9807-4102-bbd7-b605cbf3357a.jpg?v=1685459211","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tay-bridge-disaster-robin-lumley-9780752499468","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
