On a dusty bookshelf at home, I have the book, "To Engineer is Human - The Role of Failure in Successful Design" by Henry Petroski. Brilliant analysis of engineering "failure" and learning. Since the book was published in 1982, the examples employed are somewhat dated. Technological factors-those related to the role, use and economics, have been much more decisive than the literary profile in the book and the furniture that fits. In addition to The Essential Engineer, published in 2010, Petroski has written a dozen other books. To Engineer Is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design. That reminds of a book by Henry Petroski called To Engineer Is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design. You didn't mention Petroski's To Engineer is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design. As Henry Petroski writes in To Engineer Is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design, we learn more from our failures than our successes. I bought a used copy of To Engineer Is Human : The Role of Failure in Successful Design sometime last year & it finally migrated to the top of Mount ToBeRead.
