An Engineer’s Alphabet Gleanings from the Softer Side of a Profession

Henry Petroski, Duke University, North Carolina

Written by America’s most famous engineering storyteller and educator, this abecedarian is one engineer’s selection of thoughts, quotations, anecdotes, facts, trivia, and arcana relating to the practice, history, culture, and traditions of his profession.

The entries reflect decades of reading, writing, talking, and thinking about engineers and engineering, and range from brief essays to lists of great engineering achievements.

‘[This] book is a sheer delight and a powerful rebuff to anyone who believes in the persisting stereotype of an engineer as an unimaginative character who “speaketh” in formulae. Petroski fully deserves Joseph Bordogna’s definition of an engineer society’s master-integrator.’Engineering & Technology
