Synopsis
Sponsored by the National Academy of Engineering, this work tells the story of engineering innovations in the 20th century. The authors provide heavily illustrated chapters on electrification, the automobile, the airplane, water supply and distribution, spacecraft, air conditioning and refrigeration, health technologies, lasers and giver optics, nuclear technologies, and high performance materials. Each chapter offers a brief narrative history of the development of the technology, illustrated descriptions of the technology's functioning, a "perspective" from someone involved in the field, and a chronology of important events.
