What Are the Best Popular Engineering Books to Read?

[||spoon||]

Hi,

Was wanting to read a good book on Engineering, not a textbook, just a good read on engineering in general. i.e popular books.

Not with any specific discipline in mind, but if anyone does have a discipline specific book that they think is a worthwhile read, would be interested in that aswell.

Thanks in advance.

I recommend Engineering by Design and Remaking the World: Adventures in Engineering, both by Henry Petroski. If you can find a copy of either of them they are full of case studies in various disciplines.
