Book Reviews of The Engines of Our Ingenuity: An Engineer Looks at Technology and Culture
Book Review: Difficult Read
Summary: 3 Stars
Although the book has a lot of good content, I found it difficult to read - Lienhard jumps around a lot in his discussions and it's often hard to follow his arguments.
