متن يادداشت
"Millions of people have listened to John H. Lienhard's radio program "The Engines of Our Ingenuity." In this fascinating book, Leinhard gathers his reflections on the nature of technology, culture, and human inventiveness. Lienhard illustrates his themes through inventors, mathematicians, and engineers -- with stories of the canoe, the DC-3, the Hoover Dam, the diode, and the sewing machine. ... We gain new insight as to who we are, through the familiar machines and technologies that are central to our lives." --back cover.
