Design and Nature III: Comparing Design in Nature with Science and Engineering
Henry Petroski is a prolific and talented writer, who turns case studies into gripping page turners.
I find myself interested in several books lately, and each happens (upon inspection) to have been written by Petroski. This coincidence was spurred when I found Design Paradigms outside an office, and took it home with me.
This book must not be passed up by anybody with an interest in design, and is a great starting place for people who want an introduction to a multitude of relatable and informative engineering concepts.
I adore this book!
