内容简介：
From the Ferris wheel to the integrated circuit, feats of
engineering have changed our environment in countless ways, big and
small. In Remaking 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 Canal, a cut
through the continental divide that required the excavation of 311
million cubic yards of earth.
Remaking 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, Remaking the World is a
celebration of the creative instinct and of the men and women whose
inspirations have immeasurably improved our world.

编辑推荐
Engineers, Henry Petroski observes, are sometimes their own
worst enemies, at least so far as communicating their work to the
general public is concerned. Some engineers, of course, have been
exceptions. One of the unlikely heroes of Petroski's Remaking the
World, an entertaining foray into some of engineering's finest
(and, on occasion, less exalted) moments, is Karl August Rudolf
Steinmetz, who combined a great talent for design and engineering
with a keenly practiced flair for self-promotion. Another is
Washington Gale Ferris, the inventor of the Ferris wheel, who
concocted several dangerous eyesores before arriving at the design
familiar to amusement-park patrons.
书籍介绍
Science/Engineering "Petroski has an inquisitive mind, and he is a fine writer. . . . [He] takes us on a lively tour of engineers, their creations 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 Remaking 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 Canal, a cut through the continental divide that required the excavation of 311 million cubic yards of earth.

"Petroski [is] America's poet laureate of technology. . . . Remaking the World is another fine book." --Houston Chronicle "Remaking the World really is an adventure in engineering."
