How did a simple design error cause one of the great disasters of the 1980s - the collapse of the walkways at the Kansas City Hyatt Regency Hotel? What made the graceful and innovative Tacoma Narrows Bridge twist apart in a mild wind in 1940? How did an oversized waterlily inspire the magnificent Crystal Palace, the crowning achievement of Victorian architecture and engineering? These are some of the failures and successes that Henry Petroski, author of the acclaimed The Pencil, examines in this engaging, wonderfully literate book. More than a series of fascinating case studies, To Engineer is Human is a work that looks at our deepest notions of progress and perfection, tracing the fine connection between the quantifiable realm of science and the chaotic realities of everyday life.Binding Type: Paperback

Smooth Operation
Color: Brushed Aluminum, Style: No Light Kit
This Fan has exceptional airflow and operates smoothly. I use the included remote control. It took a little white to install and it’s fairly heavy, but besides that, it’s great.

The perfect hose?
Size: 50ft, Color: Black
I bought two cheaper hoses prior to this hose, and both of them were unusable. One so stiff it could barely uncoil and the other was soft, but would tangle and kink as soon as turned on.
This hose is perfect and has neither of those problems - it doesn’t kink or get tangled and it is soft and pliable and lightweight. It’s small when not in use and expands when turned on. The fact that it contracts when turned off, makes it easy to get the water out of the hose.

Great hose
Size: 50ft, Color: Black
I love this hose, I have one from years ago wearing out. This is a different quality, so will last longer. It is very lightweight when it detracts and easy to put away in the hose bowl. I also like the fact it came with a nice nozzle.
Will purchase another one that is longer after my green house is built.
