It's about engineering disasters and how they happened.
This is a valuable (and often amusing!) book that delves into the
process of engineering and its limits. It will have you looking more
closely at those bridge cables, wondering about that elevator that
you're riding in, questioning the jumbo jet on the runway. And it might
even have you staring a bit harder at that boiler in your basement.
