Most engineers receive adequate technical training as part of their core engineering curriculum but get virtually no help when it comes to their people skills. As a result, many engineers are grossly under prepared to face the interpersonal challenges they inevitably encounter while working alongside other engineers and engineering managers. People Skills for Engineers was created specifically to fill this training gap. WARNING: Failings with people can be the undoing of even the most talented technical team. Drawing on more than sixteen years of experience working alongside other engineers...

Analogy is the core of all thinking. This is the simple but unorthodox premise that Pulitzer Prize-winning author Douglas Hofstadter and French psychologist Emmanuel Sander defend in their new work. Hofstadter has been grappling with the mysteries of human thought for over 30 years. Now, with his trademark wit and special talent for making complex ideas vivid, he has partnered with Sander to put forth a highly novel perspective on cognition.

Grid insiders know how fragile the grid is becoming. Unfortunately, they have no incentive to solve the problem because near-misses increase their profits. Meredith Angwin describes how closed meetings, arcane auction rules, and five-minute planning horizons will topple the reliability of our electric grid. Shorting the Grid shines light on the vulnerabilities of our grid, and includes suggestions for making the grid more dependable.

Attention is the real currency. Not time. Not talent. Not charisma. If you’ve ever walked out of a meeting knowing you were competent… and still didn’t move the room, you already know what this is about. If you’ve ever watched a conversation drift into fog, or felt yourself start performing, over-explaining, or rushing just to keep someone’s attention—same problem. You weren’t lacking personality. You were lacking structure. Attention Engineering: A Masterclass on The Crown Method is a practical course-in-a-book for people who want their communication to land—cleanly, ...

Designing a power substation is not just selecting equipment or drawing a one-line diagram. A complete substation design requires the engineer to coordinate electrical ratings, protection zones, grounding, physical layout, control wiring, communications, SCADA, and documentation into one buildable system. Practical Electrical Power Substation Design by Example is a step-by-step training manual built around one complete worked project: A full 115/13.8 kV ring bus distribution substation (2 × 50 MVA transformers) developed from concept through one-line, protection, grounding, GA layout, ...
