Staff Pick: Golden Gate

Golden Gate: the life and times of America's greatest bridge
By: Kevin Starr

Detailed studies of the Golden Gate Bridge have been produced before—most notably Allen Brown's Golden Gate: Biography of a Bridge (1965) and John van der Zee's The Gate: The True Story of the Design and Construction of the Golden Gate Bridge (1986). But Starr's stellar book encompasses politics, finances, design, art, photography, film, construction, history, bibliography, and even suicide, which occurs about every other week.
