In the end, readers will appreciate that in saving Michelangelo's Dome from collapse, these three mathematicians and one determined pope unknowingly invented the profession of engineering as we practice it today. With it, they transformed the architectural world and ushered in generations of future buildings and structures that, otherwise, would never have been built"--Publisher's description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Acquisitions, AMR   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 726.51 Ka in Processing   Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 726.51 Ka Checked out 05/20/2024 Add Copy to MyList
