Book Reviews of Remaking the World: Adventures in Engineering
Book Review: Excellent Read
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a fine tome about engineering for those of us who scraped thru algebra! Should be required reading for *every* high school student. It gives a lot of basic information in understandable writing. Such as how did radio get to where it is today. Because of yacht racing... Now if that doesn't tease the brain, I don't know what else will...
