Discover the human side to the discipline that is profoundly more than nuts and bolts
Focusing on the impact of engineering on society and the world, McCarthy details the development of the discipline, explains what makes an engineering mind, and shows how every aspect of our lives has been engineered: from gadgets to our national infrastructure. Long considered tinkerers, problem solvers, and visionaries, engineers hold the keys to our real and virtual future.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Discover the human side to the discipline that is profoundly more than nuts and bolts 'A beautifully considered outlook on what engineers think about and do.' Igor Aleksander, Emeritus Professor of Neural Systems Engineering, Imperial College London The work of engineers surrounds us: from the phones in our pockets to the layout of our cities; these days engineers even transport some of us to the moon. But the skills that brought the world clean water and telecommunications also produced polluting technologies that could threaten its future. Engineering: A Beginners Guide explores the scientific, social, and philosophical implications inherent in the challenges faced by engineers throughout history. From Roman viaducts to bionic limbs, humans have used fascinating and diverse feats of engineering to overcome their limitations. Revealing the widespread impact that this has had on culture, knowledge, and, perhaps most importantly in these times, the environment, McCarthy presents a future where engineering is crucial to saving the planet. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR003468718
