Invention by Design; How Engineers Get from Thought to Thing
Rate This Product :
Henry Petroski's old bestsellers have delighted readers with tantalizing stories about the engineering marvels around us, from the lowly pencil to the soaring suspension bridge. In this book, Petroski delves deeper into the difficulty of invention, to explore what daily artifacts and sophisticated networks can retell about the way engineers solve problems.
Engineering entails more than knowing the way things work. What do economics and ecology, aesthetics and ethics, have to do with the shape of a paper clip, the tab of a beverage can, the cabin institute of a turbojet, or the course of a river? How do the idiosyncrasies of personel engineers, companies, and communities leave their mark on projects from Velcro® to fax machines to waterworks?Invention by Design offers an insider's look at these political and cultural dimensions of institute and development, yield and construction.
Readers unfamiliar with engineering will find Petroski's enthusiasm contagious, either the topic is the genesis of the Ziploc baggie or the averted collapse of Manhattan's sleekest skyscraper. And those who inhabit the world of engineering will explore insights to challenge their former perspective, either their work involves failure analysis, systems design, or group relations. Written with the flair that readers have come to expect from his books, Invention by Design reaffirms Petroski as the expert explicator of the law and processes that turn thoughts into the many things that define our made world.
