Description

Have you ever seen the Eiffel Tower? Gustave Eiffel's tower is one of the most recognized landmarks in the world, but it wasn't an easy path to turn his idea into a reality. Readers will love learning the story behind the name as they follow along with Gustave's beginnings as a bridge designer and the engineer behind the Statue of Liberty, the criticism and personal attacks by the media he faced while building the tower, and his eventual world-renowned success.
