Florman (1986)  JamesGilbertAllen | Sep 5, 2009 |  A rare defense of masculinity, and a brilliantly compiled ethos. (  ) mr.lewis | May 27, 2009 | A nice, concise apologetics for engineering; chicken soup for the engineer's soul, and a succinct summary of its major foci and philosophies. (  ) erk | Nov 30, 2008 | This is an excellent book that explains why engineers do their job. It is a must for anyone interested in understanding the human nature of engineers. ( ) all4metals | Sep 3, 2007 | Florman defends engineering as a fulfilling and worthwhile endeavour. Alas, he's probably preaching to the choir, as only an engineer would pick up a book with this title. ( ) lorin | May 19, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review
