Su questo libro

Recensione

'This book is strongly recommended for students and practitioner alike. It is studded with gems of information and fascinating comparisons well illustrated both in the diagrams and the text.' Engineering Design Education and Training

'Indeed it deserves the same wide audience as J. E. Gordon's brilliant popular classic: The Science of Strong Materials and Structures. It deals largely with different aspects of design but it resembles them in its clarity, wisdom, humour, and in its astonishing range of examples.' The Times Higher Education Supplement

The examples forcefully illustrate the importance of the basic design principles as related to materials, energy and information. The book concludes with a brief summary of the role and requirements of designers and inventors.
