About the Author:
"A celebration of inventiveness...By cataloging the clutter of our desks, closets, and workbenches, and giving them a human history, Petroski makes us feel more at home in our homes."- Newsweek
"Petroski is a valuable resource--an engineer who examines the simplest, most ubiquitous tools in our live with an appraising eye."- Washington Post Book World "Mr. Petroski's case histories delightfully illustrate his thesis... You never know when you will turn a page and find some tiny corner of your mind enlightened."- The New York Times "Petroski has an eye for the mundane that distracts and delights... [His] wealth of literary and cultural references runs from Aristotle... to Russell Baker... The book has substance."- NewsdayHenry Petroski is Professor of Civil Engineering at Duke University. His previous books are to Engineer Is Human, Beyond Engineering, and The Pencil
