PROJECT TITLE :

A bridge too far

ABSTRACT :

The history of engineering, as that of civilisation itself, is clearly one amongst both successes and failures, and paradoxically the failures are really the a lot of helpful part of the combo. Although examples of good engineering follow and grand technical successes will definitely function paradigms of fine judgement and things to emulate, nice engineers and nice individuals generally don't become so simply by reading biographies of great men and girls. And nice new engineering achievements do not come to be therefore just by inference from an extrapolation of successful precedents.
