From the tunnels that may have undermined the walls of  Jericho to one man's dream of an underground global system  to connect the major cities of the earth; from the aqueduct at  Samos to the spectacular railway, canal and road tunnels of  the last century, this book records the exciting story of a  major technology, the achievements of which have been  marked by engineering brilliance and astounding human  perseverance.  At a time when a tunnel beneath the English Channel  seems imminent, A History of Tunnels will prove entertaining  and instructive to general readers as well as to students of this  fascinating subject.  Illustrated with 24 pages of photographs, drawings and  diagrams.
