Description

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.

Samuel Florman explores how engineers think and feel about their profession in The Existential Pleasures of Engineering. Florman celebrates engineering as not only crucial and fundamental but also vital and alive; he views it as a response to some of our deepest impulses, an endeavour rich in spiritual and sensual rewards.

An eloquent, witty and perceptive celebration of our deepest creative impulses, The Existential Pleasures of Engineering is an informative account of the modern-day engineer's experience.
