Monster Moves: Adventures in Moving the Impossible

by Carlo Massarella

Moving house is a logistics nightmare, but imagine the challenge of moving an entire house - fixtures, fittings, brick walls, chimney and roof wholesale, through a major city, over a mountain range or across a frozen lake! That's the kind of impossible feat tackled by teams of movers in the dramatic hit TV series, 'Monster Moves'.

Wow I didn't think some of the stuff being moved was even possible. Great book lots of information.

[Diane · Rating 5 out of 5]

There's so little written about the process of structural moving that the very presence of Monster Moves makes it a standout on the topic. It gathers images and history of major moves, from churches to lighthouses, with the idea of providing casual newcomers to be subject with a quick overview of some of the biggest moving projects in history.

This is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to moving, but it's a powerful introduction that lay readers with little prior knowledge of the industry will find the perfect item of choice, loaded with color photos and intriguing facts throughout.
