Publisher: Vintage

Perhaps one of my favorite non-fiction books, Henry Petroski looks at a very different aspect of engineering that has not really been touched on before; the role of failure in design. I just finished reading Henry Petroski's To Engineer Is Human: the Role of Failure in Successful Design.
