Zusammenfassung:	Engineering entails more than knowing the way things work. What do economics and ecology, aesthetics and ethics, have to do with the shape of a paper clip, the tab of a beverage can, the cabin design of a turbojet, or the course of a river?

Invention by Design offers an insider's look at these political and cultural dimensions of design and development, production and construction.
