Another chapter features writeups of dream projects, such as the Bering Strait Bridge, which stretch the limits of present engineering ability. The section on people contains profiles of notable equipment innovators. The construction economics chapter contains data on markets, as well as building material and labor costs. There are also directories of major industry associations, unions, and government agencies.
