"The biggest contribution of Vincenti's splendidly crafted book may well be that it offers us a believably human image of the engineer." -- "Technology Review." "Johns Hopkins Studies in the History of Technology." Merritt Roe Smith, Series Editor.
To solve their design problems, engineers draw on a vast body of knowledge about how things work. Examining previously unstudied historical cases, this author shows how engineering knowledge is obtained and presents a model to help explain the growth of such knowledge.
