Thanks! 🙂 It’s absolutely the kind of non fiction I like to read. Anything about contemporary science unfortunately is going to be out of date soon.

It really is fascinating 🙂 It does include a little on architecture, for the chapters on steel and concrete. I found the book on Amazon by chance, I hadn’t heard of it before.

I actually had a class on this but we only talked about materials most used in architecture… it would have been a very long class otherwise. I will be looking for it in the online libraries.

Ha, I’m from an engineering family too. I didn’t get the genes though.

I come from a family of engineers, so I also find science interesting–from the sidelines!

I wish I had a scientific brain, oh well. I do like ‘popular science’ books though. Thanks 🙂
