Engaging bons mots from Mr. Petroski
Very engaging collection of inspiring "bons mots" involving the ingenuity and talent to be found in the field of engineering. Brought it as a gift for someone and, after reading a few of the entries, I found it as very on point for this person who, though not an engineer on paper, is none-the-less one in spirit and extremely gifted. He currently owns a company that designs & "crafts" industrial products for the construction field.

Fine job, good service
Wonderful writer. I am not an engineer, but have enjoyed this author's work for several years. If he were not an engineer, he should be teaching clear, expository writing at some technical college.

great distillation of Petroski's ideas
This book condenses many of H.P.'s engineerings ideas into a readily readable format. Highly usable for ready reference or bedside sampling.

Thought provoking but not good title for this book. Petroski at his middle level of writing.
There were some new thoughts but the title is misleading.
