Soft cover. Condizione: New. Samuel C. Florman's widely read meditation on engineering, technology, craftsmanship, and the human impulse to build. Written in response to the anti-technological attitudes prevalent during the 1960s and 1970s, Florman argues for the intellectual, aesthetic, and deeply human satisfactions of engineering while considering the broader relationship between technology, culture, history, and human values. Rather than presenting engineering simply as a technical profession, Florman examines the engineer as designer, maker, problem solver, and participant in civilization. The work became one of his best-known books and remains a notable contribution to writing about engineering culture and technological philosophy. This St. Martin's paperback, ISBN 0-312-27546-3, is generally catalogued as the first paperback edition published in 1977 following the 1976 hardcover edition. Condition: New. Original illustrated wrappers remain bright and attractive with light shelf rubbing, minor edge and corner wear, and a small amount of handling wear. Binding appears sound and square. Pages shown are clean and unmarked with no significant staining or damage observed. A well-preserved copy of this early paperback edition. Collector / Significance: Florman's book has remained in circulation for decades and is particularly relevant to collections devoted to engineering history, technological philosophy, industrial design, science and society, and the cultural history of technology. Early St. Martin's paperback copies are less common than the later revised second edition. Current Abe inventory includes inexpensive reading copies as well as a specifically catalogued first paperback edition. Book will be carefully packed and protected for shipment. USPS Media Mail available for domestic orders. Returns accepted in accordance with AbeBooks' 30-day return policy. SCI 3a.…

Condizione: Near Fine. U.S.A.: St Martins Pr, 1976. Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Synopsis: Humans have always sought to change their environment--building houses, monuments, temples, and roads. In the process, they have remade the fabric of the world into newly functional objects that are also works of art to be admired. In this second edition of his popular Existential Pleasures of Engineering, Samuel Florman explores how engineers think and feel about their profession. A deeply insightful and refreshingly unique text, this book corrects the myth that engineering is cold and passionless. Indeed, Florman celebrates engineering not only crucial and fundamental but also vital and alive; he views it as a response to some of our deepest impulses, an endeavor rich in spiritual and sensual rewards. Opposing the "anti-technology" stance, Florman gives readers a practical, creative, and even amusing philosophy of engineering that boasts of pride in his craft. 160 pp.…
