Clean water, paved roads, public transit, electricity and gas, sewers, waste processing, telecommunication, even the Internet—all this infrastructure is what makes cities work and powers our lives, often seamlessly and silently. Virtually everything we do and consume depends on infrastructure. Yet, most people have no idea how these systems work. How is water treated? How do cities manage rainwater? Why do traffic jams exist? How is electricity generated and distributed? What happens to trash after it is picked up? How does the Internet work?

How did a simple design error cause one of the great disasters of the 1980s - the collapse of the walkways at the Kansas City Hyatt Regency Hotel? What made the graceful and innovative Tacoma Narrows Bridge twist apart in a mild wind in 1940? How did an oversized waterlily inspire the magnificent Crystal Palace, the crowning achievement of Victorian architecture and engineering? These are some of the failures and successes that Henry Petroski, author of the acclaimed The Pencil, examines in this engaging, wonderfully literate book.

Drawing on more than sixteen years of experience working alongside other engineers...

The exam doesn't test what you know. It tests whether you can find it. Most civil engineers who fail the FE exam don't fail because they don't know enough. They fail because they've been studying the wrong thing — memorizing formulas instead of learning to navigate the one resource available during every minute of the test: the FE Reference Handbook. The Alchemist's Formula teaches the actual skill the exam measures. Written as a novel, it follows Marcus Reyes — a Houston civil engineer who has failed the FE twice — through an eleven-week mentored preparation. The story is real enough...
