To Engineer Is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design

A surprisingly quick read for such potentially heavy subject matter. I felt the first couple of chapters dragged, but once the real world examples started, the pace picked up considerably. Although parts of the book are hopelessly dated (slide rules? primitive computing?), the underlying truths and conclusions are still quite relevant.
