15.1 - It's a Wonnder

[SRC Moderator, Moderator]

15.1. It's a Wonnder!
This is a 2 book task.
Book 1. All of the modern wonders of the world involve engineering. Read a book with the main page genre engineering or architecture. Genres may be stand alone or embedded.
AND
Book 2. Since “Channel" and "Tunnel” both have sequential Ns in the word, read a book with 2 n’s found sequentially in the title/subtitle/author’s name. Examples: Kristin Hannah, Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose by Flannery O'Connor.
