The Essential Engineer: Why Science Alone Will Not Solve Our Global Problems by Henry Petroski

4.0

This is a good read for anyone who wants to understand the relationship between engineering and science, and the current view society has on the disciplines.

It's less of a "how to engineer" textbook, and more of a book which outlines the systems engineering viewpoint of what the next steps are to create a better, safer world.
