Engineers [Hardcover]

Bridges, engines, circuits and spacecraft all begin as problems someone had to solve, and this DK hardcover looks at the people and the reasoning behind those solutions. Across 360 pages the book covers engineering as a set of related disciplines rather than a single subject, using photographs, cutaways and annotated diagrams to show how structures and machines actually work. The presentation is pitched at readers of twelve to sixteen, which makes it a reasonable bridge between school science and the more technical material a student meets later. It also functions as a reference to keep beside project work. Points in its favour: • 360-page hardcover from DK • Cutaways and annotated diagrams throughout • Covers several engineering disciplines in one volume • Publisher guidance of twelve to sixteen years Aimed at secondary students considering engineering and at families supporting science study at home, published by DK and available at Boipoka.
