Customer Reviews

An intriguing, lively discussion

E.E. Lewis is a professor of mechanical engineering at Northwestern University, and in Masterworks of Technology: The Story of Creative Engineering, Architecture, and Design, provides both a review of the history of science and engineering, and a discussion of how two very different technological marvels came together in the 21st century. Individual chapters focus on evolving design, different training and perspectives in architect-engineers past and present, and how basic science has influenced a new world of creative engineering and design strategies. An intriguing, lively discussion and very highly recommended reading, especially for non-specialist general readers with an interest in science and technology..
