To Engineer Is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design
Naiche avatar reviewed on + 91 more book reviews


Remarkable book, detailing a number of dramatic engineering disasters, and how subsequent generations of engineers learned (or failed to learn) from previous failures. Conveys a lot of the thought-processes behind engineering, not just the finished product. Is very well written and comprehenisble to the layman. Good book for anyone interested in problem solving in many different areas.
