How Science Saved the Eiffel Tower
Emma Bland Smith
Gustave Eiffel, an engineer and amateur scientist, built his tower for the 1889 World’s Fair. Made with then-new technology, the structure rose higher than any building in the world. When the tower faced being taken apart, Eiffel demonstrated how it could contribute to scientific and technological advances. The account includes digital art, source material, and back matter that add context to the tower’s history and continuing uses.
