Civil engineer Samuel Forman'sThe Civilized Engineer is aimed at both those observing and commenting externally on engineering, and the practicing engineer--to reveal something of the art behind great engineering achievements, and to stimulate debate upon the author's hypothesis that "in its moment of ascendance, engineering is faced with the trivialization of its purpose and the debasement of its practice."

Over the years he oscillated between engineering and literature.
"When older engineers get together they invariably agree that immediately after graduating from college they wished they had taken more technical courses. Ten years later, advancing along career paths, they wished they had learned more about business and economics. Ten years again, in their forties, thinking about the nature of leadership and musing about the meaning of life, they regretted not having studied literature, history, and philosophy. This pattern has become something of a cliche, confirmed by studies and polls."
I found it delightfully well written. Some books we read because we have to or feel that they will prove useful. Other books we read because they delight us. This one delights. ( )
