Engineering in Plain Sight: An Illustrated Field Guide to the Constructed Environment by Grady Hillhouse

5.0

Engineering in Plain Sight is the best introduction you’ll get to the constructed environment around you. If you were ever curious about how a port works, what are all the cables in a transmission line, how a tunnel is constructed and what are all the construction machines in a site, this book is a must-read. It is said that reading three books in a given subject make you more knowledgeable in the topic than 95% of people - forget about that here. Just read this one and you’ll know more than 99% of people (and can even show off your civil engineering knowledge on a daily basis).
