Design Paradigms : Case Histories of Error and Judgment in Engineering
by Henry Petroski

An interesting investigation into the systemic causes of failure in engineering. A bit on the dry side, but not too bad. Makes for a nice reality check on the thought processes that are used in traditional design practices as well as systems engineering.

I give it 3 1/2 Freeps.

Can anyone think of a good graphic for a Freep?

If you come up with some design for a "freep," pass it along. Thanks. Good idea.

Is this too simple?
