The Automobile  'Crammed with information, original photographs, illustrations and drawings, we reckon it's an essential addition to any military vehicle enthusiast's reference library.' Classic Military Vehicle  Regarded as one of the great automotive engineers of the twentieth century, Ferdinand Porsche is well remembered today for his remarkable automotive designs including the Volkswagen Beetle and Auto Union Grand Prix cars. Yet there is another side to his extraordinary career, for he was an equally inventive designer of military vehicles and machinery. In this field too he excelled. Indeed the sheer versatility of his contribution is astonishing. Karl Ludvigsen's study is the definitive guide.  Karl Ludvigsen tells the complete story, detailing Porsche's relations with the Third Reich and the stream of advanced designs for which he was responsible. Among them were the Kubelwagen, the Schwimmwagen, the Type 100 Leopard tank, the controversial Ferdinand tank destroyer and the colossal Type 205 'Maus' tank. He also describes Porsche's creative work on aero engines, tank engines and even his company's manufacture of the V-1 flying bomb, for which he designed a turbojet engine.","brand":"Pen \u0026 Sword Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48739967533399,"sku":"9781526726797","price":15.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526726797.jpg?v=1720053548"},{"product_id":"solidworks-2019-and-engineering-graphics-9781630572402","title":"SOLIDWORKS 2019 and Engineering Graphics","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSOLIDWORKS 2019 and Engineering Graphics: An Integrated Approach combines an introduction to SOLIDWORKS 2019 with a comprehensive coverage of engineering graphics principles.

CWUAAT has always had a successful multidisciplinary focus, but if genuine transdisciplinary fields are to evolve from this, the final barriers to integrated research must be identified and characterised. Only then will benefits be realised in an inclusive society. Barriers do not arise from impairments themselves, but instead, are erected by humans, who often have not considered a greater variation in sensory, cognitive and physical user capabilities. Barriers are not only technical or architectural, but they also exist between different communities of professionals. Our continual goal with the CWUAAT workshop series is to break down barriers in technical, physical, and architectural design, as well as barriers between different professional communities.\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Technical communicators interested in learning about the inclusive design aspect of User Experience will find Breaking Down Barriers: Usability, Accessibility and Inclusive Design both fascinating and inspiring. … Technical communicators will find Breaking Down Barriers a worthwhile read as they learn what work is going on to advance inclusive design methods.

But of course that would miss Petroski’s goal: to show how engineers learn from failure and improve their designs… For those who enjoy reading about girders and trusses, \u003ci\u003eTo Forgive Design\u003c\/i\u003e is, yes, riveting… [Petroski] amply shows the wisdom of the proverb that failure is a good teacher. Even a collapsed bridge leads somewhere. -- Matt Ridley * Wall Street Journal *\u003cbr\u003eAmericans are encouraged to believe that failure is not an option, but author Henry Petroski regards it as just about inevitable. A professor of civil engineering and history at Duke University, Petroski began his writing career with \u003ci\u003eTo Engineer Is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design\u003c\/i\u003e, an influential work that deals with mechanical and engineering failures. This huge sequel devotes much more attention to the interplay between human beings, machines, buildings and disaster. It’s exhaustive, relentless, often exhilarating—and given its technical nature, surprisingly readable… If you’re already a bit phobic about flying in a plane, crossing a suspension bridge, or even driving a car, \u003ci\u003eTo Forgive Design\u003c\/i\u003e is probably not for you… Petroski chronicles the story of failure with a measure of affection reminiscent of a biographer of Attila the Hun who develops a grudging fondness for his subject. But whether or not the latter had redeeming qualities, the former surely does: Failure reminds us to avoid the sin of pride. I thoroughly enjoyed \u003ci\u003eTo Forgive Design\u003c\/i\u003e, even down to the gloomy quote from the famously gloomy writer Samuel Beckett: ‘Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.’ -- Joe Queenan * Barron’s *\u003cbr\u003eNon-engineers needn’t worry that the book will be too dense with details; Petroski makes the science easily understandable… [This is] a book that satisfactorily explains why our determination to push the boundaries guarantees both failure and triumph. -- James F. Sweeney * Cleveland Plain Dealer *\u003cbr\u003eEngineering is interesting when it works, but much more compelling when it doesn’t. Petroski may be one of his profession’s establishment figures, but his key finding is highly critical: because most engineers don’t know much about the history of engineering, complacency and gee-whizz design software is likely to foment a fairly regular incidence of potentially catastrophic structural failures… Much of the information will be of great interest to engineers and designers… The most brilliantly explained engineering failure concerns the ocean-bed blowout involving the \u003ci\u003eDeepwater Horizon\u003c\/i\u003e oil rig in 2010. Petroski’s exposition is immensely detailed and benefits from being linear in its narrative. This section of the book is exemplary in its remorseless exfoliation of the technical and commercial reasons for the incident. -- Jay Merrick * The Independent *\u003cbr\u003eMustering a truly staggering array of examples of past engineering failures, Petroski makes the case that failure is a necessary component of technological development, and that structures, machines and other engineered devices do not exist in isolation, but instead are designed and used within a tangle of competing constraints and unpredictable scenarios… At his best, Petroski is a compelling storyteller, and his recounting of past disasters and near-disasters can be fascinating. In addition to several detailed but well-paced narratives of familiar failures such as the Space Shuttle \u003ci\u003eChallenger\u003c\/i\u003e explosion, the book contains a great deal of intriguing arcana… Petroski’s greatest asset as a writer is his impressive historical erudition. He seems to have an infinite file of meticulously detailed case studies that illustrate his points, and any thought of just how long he must have spent researching inspires mild fear. He has written prolifically for nearly three decades on the topic of failure in engineering, and there is no doubt whatsoever that he knows what he’s talking about… I would sincerely recommend \u003ci\u003eTo Forgive Design\u003c\/i\u003e to anyone with a particular interest in historical engineering fiascos. -- Colin McSwiggen * Literary Review *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTo Forgive Design\u003c\/i\u003e remains a largely accessible, important contribution to the growing library of failure. -- Colin Dickey * Los Angeles Review of Books *\u003cbr\u003eWhen a plane crashes or a bridge collapses, faulty engineering is the usual suspect. But in seeking the roots of failure, we should look beyond design, says engineer Henry Petroski. We must probe the political and economic imperatives that shape purposes and use. In this follow-up to his influential \u003ci\u003eTo Engineer Is Human\u003c\/i\u003e, Petroski argues that accidents such as the \u003ci\u003eDeepwater Horizon\u003c\/i\u003e oil spill are the result of faults as much in ‘human machinery’ as in mechanical devices. He praises software developers for learning from structural engineering about how to report and analyze mishaps. * Nature *\u003cbr\u003eA rewarding read. -- Jonathon Keats * New Scientist *\u003cbr\u003eBy critically examining the interdependency of people and machines related to bridge collapses, airplane crashes and space shuttle failures, Petroski discovers that understanding failure is the only way to bring successful design and engineering into the future. -- Megan Wood * Salon *\u003cbr\u003eFor more than two decades, Petroski has been delighting and educating readers with tales of engineering failures and how they can lead to safer technology… Always technically well informed and gifted with a comfortable, engaging storytelling style, Petroski shows readers how engineering design is a compromise between the ideal of perfect safety and the practicalities of limited resources. The lesson is that engineering makes advances through failure, but only if the lessons that failure teaches are applied to future projects… \u003ci\u003eTo Forgive Design\u003c\/i\u003e succeeds in conveying Petroski’s message in a way that can be appreciated by the general reader and put to practical use by engineering students of all levels. -- K. D. Stephan * Choice *\u003cbr\u003e[An] authoritative text about the interrelationship between success and failure in the engineering enterprise… Petroski’s most gripping passages are his Sherlockian dissections of engineering fiascos and the importance of learning from the vast archive of forensic analyses. * Kirkus Reviews *\u003cbr\u003ePetroski follows up his first book, \u003ci\u003eTo Engineer Is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design\u003c\/i\u003e, with this examination of human failure. In the previous title, he primarily considered mechanical and structural failures. Here, he looks not only at how people contribute to the failure of engineering designs but also at how analyzing those failures can improve subsequent models. He considers many different types of failures, from several infamous bridge collapses to carefully designed intentional failures, which are engineered specifically to prevent greater failures. In each case, Petroski goes beyond an explanation of the mechanical failure itself to point out how humans created these and other problems through systemic mistakes. -- Carla H. Lee * Library Journal *\u003cbr\u003eThough his focus here is primarily on bridges, Petroski extends his analysis to include the sinking of the \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e, the mid-flight explosion of TWA Flight 800, the \u003ci\u003eChallenger\u003c\/i\u003e tragedy, the Y2K computer programming crisis, and the \u003ci\u003eDeepwater Horizon\u003c\/i\u003e spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Each has its own unique set of human, mechanical, and engineering failures, and Petroski does a terrific job of identifying and communicating not only what went wrong, but what was learned from the failure and how that knowledge has since been put into practice. Fellow engineers and armchair scientists will get the most out of the book, but even the layman will find Petroski’s study to be accessible, informative, and interesting. * Publishers Weekly *","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48865487716695,"sku":"9780674416826","price":18.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780674416826.jpg?v=1722274207"},{"product_id":"success-through-failure-9780691180991","title":"Success through Failure","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"From [Petroski's] vantage point, failures in design and construction present perfect teaching opportunities.
