Engineering vs science


 Why science alone will not solve our global problems  

I'm usually not a fan of Petroski's (his writing is pretty dry) but this book sounds pretty good.

I'm gonna try to get caught up on blogging this week. I have a lot of random funny stuff to tell you all about!

  3. @Mom: Stefano and I both say "aw, thanks!"

    @Bob: I'll have to check that out. I think I tossed this month's straight under the coffee table without looking at it.
