Science/Engineering "Petroski has an inquisitive mind, and he is a fine writer. . . . [He] takes us on a lively tour of engineers, their creati*** and their necessary turns of mind." --Los Angeles Times From the Ferris wheel to the integrated circuit, feats of engineering have changed our environment in countless ways, big and small. In Re*** the World: Adventures in Engineering, Duke University's Henry Petroski focuses on the big: Malaysia's 1,482-foot Petronas Towers as well as the Panama C***, a cut through the continental divide that required the excavation of 311 million cubic yards of earth.

Re*** the World tells the stories behind the man-made wonders of the world, from squabbles over the naming of the Hoover Dam to the effects the Titanic disaster had on the engineering community of 1912. Here, too, are the stories of the

personalities behind the wonders, from the jaunty Isambard Kingdom Brunel, designer of nineteenth-century transatlantic steamships, to Charles Steinmetz, oddball genius of the General Electric Company, whose office of preference was a battered twelve-foot canoe. Spirited and absorbing, Re*** the World is a celebration of the creative instinct and of the men and women whose inspirati*** have immeasurably improved ou***orld. "Petroski [is] America's poet laureate of technology. . . . Re*** the World is another fine book." --Houston Chronicle "Re*** the World really is an adventure in engineering."
