## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ an interesting summary of history of engineering
*by M***E on January 11, 2020*

Engineering has had a very long history, extending back to the first tools produced by our remote, human-like ancestors. This book, written in a scholarly and engaging way, focuses on 100 important milestones in this history, and, overall, provides some excellent information about engineering and modern technology, without getting overly oriented toward scientific and technical jargon. At the present time, it is the only such book of which I am aware that gives such a knowledgeable, and helpful perspective on engineering for the nonspecialist. While of little use for the innovators and world shakers who move this field, some of whom are merely brilliant entrepreneurs like Edison or Musk, and not actually professional engineers, the book is of considerable interest for anyone wishing to educate themselves a little concerning what the human race is "all about": This is it (technology, innovation, and progress). All the rest (science, math, politics, art, literature, economics and business, social concerns, religion, etc.) either support this amazing drive forward into an unknown and unfathomable future, characteristic of our nature and our kind, or is just noise and distractions and the juvenile games of our race. Engineering holds the key to much about us, to the meaning of our lives, and to our nature. It is a pity that there is so little available like this book to open the doors for those of us who are not engineers, inventors or entrepreneurs. I very highly recommend this book to the general reader.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great gift!
