Das Buch schildert am Entstehen und an den Folgen groBer Er findungen Bowie am Leben beruhmter Ingenieure, wie unerlaBlich neben Wissen, Konnen und FleiB Charakter und Personlichkeit fur technisches Schaffen sind und welch Weltgeschichte machender, die Existenz jedes einzelnen beeinflussender Faktor die Technik geworden ist. Diese Tatsachen werden in den Mittelpunkt von Betrachtungen uber einige fUr Ingenieure lebenswichtige Fragen gestellt. Das Irrige del' Ansicht, del' Ingenieurberuf fiihre ein Sonderdasein und arbeite nach ganz anderen Prinzipien als andere, "alte" Berufe, wird durch Vergleiche mit diesen nachgewiesen. Es wird ferner gezeigt, daB infolge unzureichender Kenntnis diesel' Dinge, ubertriebenem Spezialistentum und zu geringer allgemeiner Interessen Ansehen und EinfluB von Ingenieuren ihren Leistungen und del' Erfolg ihrer Arbeit ihren An strengungen nicht immer entsprechen und was sie tun mussen, um als Ingenieure zu Bestleistungen und als Menschen zu innerer Zufriedenheit zu kommen. Die Veroffentlichung, die einschlagige Ausfuhrungen aus meinen rein technischen Buchern "Dampfkraft" (1933) und "Leichte Dampf antriebe" (1937) mit verwertet, ist in einer auch Laien, VOl' allem Lehrern und ihren VOl' del' Berufswahl stehenden Schulern verstandlichen Weise sine ira et studio geschrieben. Infolge sehr starker beruflicher Be lastung konnte ich auf einige Dinge nicht so eingehen, wie mil' lieb gewesen ware, und muB daher um Nachsicht bitten. Berlin-Dahlem, Frischlingsteig 1 Ostern 1941.
