Small Things Considered: Why There Is No Perfect Design
I learned about:
--The development of bottled water.
--The invention of the paper bag.
--The development of duct tape.
I skimmed:
--Everything else.
I am not joking: at one point, Petroski gives a long-winded account of ordering dinner from a design perspective. He talks about "designing" your dessert.
"To Engineer is Human" was a good book; this is not.
