Description
NEW 2024 UPDATED EDITION Here is the essential guide to engineering, an authoritative reference book and timeline about how technology has given shape to our civilization. Engineering predates humanity; Homo habilis was knapping hand axes from fist-sized flints more than a thousand centuries before the dawn of modern humans. Admittedly the development of technology was slow back then--but we've made up for lost time since. Striding from the Stone Age to Silicon Valley in 100 steps, we will see how our inventors have seized every
scientific breakthrough, new material, and better under-standing to improve daily life and expand the scope of civilization. From reshaping rivers and containing the forces of nature to constructing artificial lifeforms and perhaps one day even taming alien planets, engineers think big. These men and women of action make our world. A guide to each field of engineering and the materials they employ gives and insight into their achievements, their limits, and what might come next. Includes biographies of the great engineers, such as Archimedes, Tesla, and Watt, showing the inspirations that lay behind their goals. A graphical representation of engineering milestones, showing the first, biggest, and fastest from across the field boosts the contents for all readers. Includes a 12-page fold-out Timeline - stretches out to 8.5 feet (2.6 meters) long.
