Engineers

Bridges, engines, circuits and spacecraft are traced back to the people who designed them in Adam Hart-Davis's survey of engineering. The book moves from early tools and structures through industrial machinery to computing and space travel, giving each figure a short biography beside the problem they were trying to solve. Photographs, drawings and cutaways show the work itself rather than only the portraits. The takeaway: • Profiles of engineers across several centuries and continents • Explanations of the problems each design was built to solve • Illustration of structures, machines and mechanisms in detail • A chronological arc linking early construction to modern technology Engineering students, science readers and anyone curious about how things get built will find this DK Publishing title at Boipoka.
