How would I do this in Calibre?
@jon_joy_1999 - As far as know there's no automatic way based on analysis of book contents

You could try downloading the metadata from one or more of the metadata source sites (Amazon, B&N, Goodreads etc) - but that probably only works for commercial publications

To do it manually - Enter the tags in Metadata Edit (Press E). with commas between tags eg 'bridges, roadways'. To the left of the tag field in Metadata Edit there's a button, if you click that, then you get a specialised Tag Editor that makes it easy to select previously defined tags - helps avoid ending up with 'roads' and 'roadways'.

You can also edit them directly in the book list by highlighting the cell and pressing F2, you can also press Shift+F2 on a Tags cell to get the Tags Editor.
