Two good articles in the latest batch of magazines. Technology Teacher's
cover story is a feature on "teaching elements and principles of bridge
design" (unfortunately, with no identification of the bridge in the
photo). And American Scientist has a fine historical article on the
Joshua A. Norton (a/k/a "Bay") Bridge, including the controversy and
science of the alternative designs. (Bonus: cover story is on the physics
of pitching fastballs.)

We have books, yes, but don't forget the magazines.
