Remarkable Engineers - From Riquet to Shannon (Paperback)

Engineering transformed the world completely between the 17th and 21st centuries.

The focus throughout is on their varied life stories, and engineering and scientific detail is kept to a minimum. Engineer profiles are organized chronologically, inviting readers with an interest in engineering to follow the path by which these remarkable engineers utterly changed our lives.
