Perceptions of Great Engineers
Author: Denis Smith
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Engineers
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
The model for engineering biography that has developed in the UK was established in the nineteenth century by Samuel Smiles. His ideology and rhetoric shaped the way in which distinguished engineers have since been perceived. This book comprises a series of papers presented at a one-day conference in 1993. It examines two historiographic problems: the selection of engineers for immortalisation and the accumulation within engineering biography of folk traditions affecting both scholarly work and popular history. Aspects of the lives are re-evaluated, often with the help of newly uncovered contemporary evidence.

Moonrush
Author: Dennis Wingo
Publisher: Collector's Guide Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
If by some magic process humanity was able to go to the stars tomorrow and find habitable worlds we would probably want to design a society based upon modern technology. We can't do this but we can look at our Earthbound society and think about how to redesign it so that it will work better. It is like a giant game of the SIMS but in the real world. This book examines how the exploration of space, specifically a commercial base on the Moon and Mars would transform our economies on the Earth as surely as the discovery of the New World transformed the old world of Europe. From Platinum Group Metals for fuel cells, manufacturing high tech metals and robots to the building of a fusion reactor, the Moon holds great promise for a high tech manufacturing future. This book takes a look and imagines how a world with such resources could be designed for our future.
