About

It is easy to take technological advancement for granted; much of what we need or want to see is available at the touch of a button. But to get to this point took a massive number of steps, some tiny, some giant. The 50 Greatest Engineers celebrates the achievements that have been made through the ages, and contains profiles of the best-known and most innovative engineers of all time.

Fully illustrated with examples of their major works—whether they be machines, buildings, bridges, or life-changing technical innovations—this fascinating book explores how these men and women have beaten the odds to develop them. If you ever wondered "Who made that?" you will find the answer here.
