Henry Petroski (February 6, 1942) is an American engineer specializing in failure analysis. A professor both of civil engineering and history at Duke University, he is also… a prolific author. Petroski has written over a dozen books - beginning with To Engineer is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design (1985) and including a number of titles detailing the industrial design history of common, everyday objects, such as pencils, paper clips, and silverware. He is a frequent lecturer and a columnist for the magazines American Scientist and Prism. Before beginning his work at Duke in 1980, Petroski worked the Argonne National Laboratory from 1975-80. He is a Distinguished Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Philosophical Society and the National Academy of Engineering. Petroski received the 2014 McGovern Award for Science. Derived from a Kirkus review: The story behind the Brooklyn Bridge, Golden Gate, and a score of other marvels of late-19th and 20th century engineering genius. It was by no means certain that designs for longer and longer spans and higher and higher towers, using newfangled raw steel and concrete materials instead of masonry, would literally hold up. And failures there were. Cantilevered bridges were out following the collapse of a bridge in Scotland; suspension bridges had to fight their way back to respectability after the Tacoma Narrows Bridge torsioned itself to death in high wind. But it is the people Petroski cares about: the engineer-dreamers whose names are unknown: men like James Eads, who bridged the Mississippi; Gustav Lindenthal; Othmar Ammann; and David Steinman. They, their partners and rivals, the politicians, bankers, and public interest groups, the construction workers and the general public animate the tales that Petroski tells. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. Chris Ware (Jacket Art) (illustrator).
