To Forgive Design

by Henry Petroski (2012)

read:

23 April 2016

rating:

[+]

category:

non-fiction

Another great book about bridge collapses! No, I am serious. If you like Petroski’s slightly rambling style, this is a great book about engineering, engineering education, bridge collapses and other engineering failures and how a profession “learns” over time how to do more good stuff and less bad stuff. A lot of great stories and a little overlong but generally quite good reading.
