Doctor, traveller and writer Gavin Francis is fascinated by the power of bridges to improve human connection. In his latest book, he examines bridges actual and metaphorical, on a journey through more than twenty countries and across four decades of travel. From the Ponte Sant'Angelo in Rome to Brooklyn, Victoria Falls to London, Singapore to Siberia, he reflects on connections between nations and individuals, exploring what the building of bridges has meant to human civilisation, how crossings can enrich our lives, and the price we pay when we tear them down.
