À propos de cette écoute

The work of engineers surrounds us: from the phones in our pockets to the layout of our cities. These days, engineers even transport some of us to the moon. But the skills that brought the world clean water and telecommunications also produced polluting technologies that could threaten its future. Engineering explores the scientific, social, and philosophical implications inherent in the challenges faced by engineers throughout history. From Roman viaducts to bionic limbs, humans have used fascinating and diverse feats of engineering to overcome their limitations. Revealing the widespread impact that this has had on culture, knowledge and the environment, McCarthy presents a future in which engineering is crucial to saving the planet.©2009 Natasha McCarthy (P)2012 Bolinda Publishing Ingénierie Science

    Avis de l'équipe

    The job done by engineers is varied and complex, and in this succinct guide, professor Natasha McCarthy, a policy advisor at the Royal Academy of Engineering, explains precisely what engineers are responsible for. Including a history of engineering, specialties within the field, and engineering's future, this audiobook provides a solid basis of understanding for those outside the field, and those who are interesting in pursuing studies in engineering. An upbeat narration from voice performer Dave Ferguson brings energy to the material, making it an easy, engrossing listen.

    “A beautifully considered outlook on what engineers think about and do.” (Igor Aleksander, Emeritus Professor of Neural Systems Engineering, Imperial College London)
    “Deftly engineered. McCarthy challenges us all – not just engineers – to take responsibility for the ways in which we all increasingly engineer the world.” (Carl Mitcham, Philosopher of Technology and Professor of Liberal Arts and International Studies at the Colorado School of Mines)
    “A fantastic book. Full of stories that can be enjoyed by anybody … interested in innovation and creativity.” (Dame Wendy Hall, Professor of Computer Science, Southampton University)
    “The best book of its kind. Bold and well informed, it works as an introduction to engineering for just about every conceivable audience.” (Steve Fuller, Professor of Sociology at the University of Warwick and author of New Frontiers in Science and Technology Studies)
